I've always wanted to create some sort of rear x-brace for the 318ti. Never had the equipment or time. Interesting how the attachment to the body runs all the way up the the front, but I guess that's the only true bolt-on solution.

That is just for the Z3 based cars. Pretty sure it would not fit a Ti.

I'm pretty sure the butt strut will fit on a Ti though. I'm just worried that as my car is already pretty low and I occasionally drive it on the street that I'd be at risk of ramming it into something.
