BMW PERFORMANCE strut brace
Guys, this is not a joke...
Called BMW Battersea today. Spoke to Jaimie (whos been very helpful) about getting my aero front lip. However, I got a shock when I asked for the price of the BMW PERFORMANCE strut brace in carbon fibre!!! £645!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for a carbon strut brace!!!.... But the aluminium one was "cheaper" ...at £160.... Just though I 'd share my thoughts!!! ....after this shocking experience! |

I priced up a carbon rear valance from the range for my 1 series, £650, it only has 5 fixing points, so it was going to go walkies in no time

I think that's a good price, I think it's more expensive here.

The BMW Performance Strut Brace, whether in carbon or aluminium, DOES NOT FIT a 335i car - the airbox is in the way... The best option is to get the M3 strut brace...

Didn't know the M3 brace fitted though......... Do you mean this V shape assembly? (looks like the standard one on my 335i, but probably uprated) http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...61&hg=51&fg=75 |

Yup - direct bolt on replacement. Takes about 30 minutes to fit, as you have to remove the top cowling which can be a bit of a pain. Not a substantial improvement on my own car as I have other mods which make a difference, but noticeable nonetheless...
