Front Upper Strut Bar

[UR2SLOW1]

Does anyone know what the holdup is with the aftermarket guys releasing an upper strut bar ?

Aftermarket bar are usually for "Bling" purposes, and to make one that's cheap (as in low R&D cost), aftermarket bar uses the stock mounting spots and as you all might notice when opening up the hood, you Don't See much the bars.

Also, it's a damn tight squeeze for the stock bar already, so any thing bigger, for better support, might not fit.

Does anyone know anything about the carbon fibre strut brace in the BMW Performance Parts brochure?

Yeah, but has anyone had one fitted yet?

It only fits the 128. The N54 intake manifold is too big.
