I just feel that if adding a simple brace improved the handling that much don't you think BMW would put them on at the factory? I mean how much could a brace cost to mass produce? $10, $20 ?? Just a thought.

i agree. Or does it compromise soemthing else that buyers would not want to sacrifice? Such as ... Nitrogen. (see any and all threads with N1 in it to get the joke)

BMW's are built for the everyday person, some of whom have no need for the added benefit and cost for such an item. Plus anytime you add bars and such, the ride comfort decreases. You alrady have people here who complain that the regular or sport suspension is too "hard" already . So ChiTown, believe it or not if you want, but you don't have to degrade the discussion with "ricer" talk. You could also add me to your ignore list. Danny

I just looked into the engine compartment and noticed the factory bracing that attaches near the firewall. Have any of you noticed that? |

I ordered mine (from my dealer) a few weeks ago. I ordered it as I plan to do trackdays (I did nearly 1500 miles on the Nurburgring wtih my previous car) and this is the only strutbrace available that will not void the warrenty. Considering the cornerspeed this car is capable to handle, I don't consider the strutbrace a luxury.
As for the ricey remark, i don't agree. Ok it's not a standard item on the car, but it' s concealed under the bonnet, and what's under the bonnet of my car is nobody's business(that's why I debaged my car). I don't consider it beeing a showoff item.
