FS: BMW performance CF strut brace

dr.bmw · 12-13-2015, 04:24 PM

was on the car for 3 years
clear coat still shiny, strut brace as new
will also fit e90/e92
Does not come with nuts - you will have to get them from a stealership but they cost $10 for a pair
open to offers but no lowballing - this item cost me $1600
cheers

I think you will find the hex nuts don't cost $10....they are $33 each and must be replaced as they are aluminium. The part number is 51717895241.

There are also two hex bolts and black caps required to fit the part....they are about another $30 for the set. Looking at over $90 in parts to fit it.

dr.bmw · 12-13-2015, 07:18 PM

erm... holy cow?
thanks for doing my homework mate
i'd change the ad but i can't be bothered right now
I'm not going to hang on to it and the highest offer so far is $400 so if I don't get more than that i'll sell it for that
cheers

EB89 · 12-13-2015, 07:22 PM

Will this fit if you have an N55 intake?

totti84 · 12-13-2015, 08:45 PM

I'll offer $410

R32GOJIRA · 12-13-2015, 09:13 PM

$420

Let the bidding war begin lol

dr.bmw · 12-13-2015, 10:49 PM

I don't think it fits N54 or N55 in the 1 series due to the intake positioning
however in the 3 series the engine may sit lower so i'd ask the dealer to confirm

should be ok.

vtl · 12-14-2015, 02:42 AM

Would fit fine on an n54 but might rub a little on the stock airbox under very aggressive driving (engine rocks around).

Will be a non issue if you have a dual cone setup though.

Trev88 · 12-14-2015, 11:15 PM

Does it fit an e90 320d? If it does I want it!! Haha $440

Cheungs · 12-28-2015, 06:28 PM

Did this sell?

dr.bmw · 12-30-2015, 03:38 AM

Not yet!

R32GOJIRA · 12-30-2015, 04:21 AM

So whats the highest offer so far?

dr.bmw · 12-30-2015, 05:16 AM

are you interested? at least Wollongong is close. All my offers so far want me to ship the brace which is a pain.

donR · 12-30-2015, 07:16 PM

It does look really nice. What sort of intake is that also?

titium · 12-30-2015, 08:51 PM

I am interested I'm in the Liverpool area where are you located?

dr.bmw · 12-30-2015, 10:30 PM

mascot, next to the airport

titium · 12-31-2015, 12:50 AM

Really torn between something that is functional and allows for adjustment of damper and camber settings without removing the bar and something that looks as good as this does!
Unfortunately I think I am going to have to give this a miss.

good luck with the sale!

aaron_ · 01-02-2016, 08:35 PM

Will this fit an e93 335i with afe magnum force intake stage 2 Si

If so I can pick up pending right price

dr.bmw · 01-04-2016, 07:20 AM
