The air filter looks like one of those ITG foam deals made by HKS. I have no opinion on those at all.

For the bar it looks good and solid, do you think it will fit a TI? The only things that worries me is that in the diagram it mentions a straight load path yet the bar is crooked.

Bushings look good. Let me know what kind of an improvement that make.

i am running one of those filters right now.
opinion of it? well it comes saturated in a green liquid and that is thick as dishsoap.
cheaper than a K&N. performance increase? I doubt it.

Is the saturated dish soap filter a good thing?

Here's what the seller had to say:

"Do you make a model designed for a 1998 318ti?"

no not yet, need car for prtotype

figure it's the oil they use for the filter.

I am still out on it.

i'm told delrin bushings really stiffen up the ride, but can wear other suspension components much faster. it's your call if the performance is worth it to you.

as for a rear brace, check out the strong strut butt strut. it's a little more of an investment but it doesnt take up any cargo area and has received nothing but rave reviews.

EDIT: bad link fixed.

How do they justify that price!!!!!!

I do like the fact it goes under the car, I'd hate to lose trunk space. That's the beauty of a hatchback, you can drop the rear seats, and put your house in it.
