thats a nice piece to have.. did you notice much if at all??? I think I may be getting one of these in the near future! I looks like it also protects the oilpan quite a bit

cool piece to have

I consider the x-brace to be the single best upgrade to our cars for the money. It's presence is noticeable even in straight-line highway driving and it does provide significant protection to the oil pan. If your car is lowered, it should have one of these on it.

I second that, big change for the money. I think all these cars should have one, all mine do.

What contains about $.20 worth of rubber and costs $107.30 at your local BMW dealer? The rebuild kits for ti rear calipers, that's what. Unfknblvbl. What I don't get, is that BMW's own computers had a list price of $42.XX, but they charged me $53.65 each for the part. When I asked the guy at the parts counter what was up with that, he looked at me like I was from a different planet.

Haven't installed it yet, but will be doing so this weekend (along with an entirely new H&R/Bilstein suspension, and M3 front brake upgrade! )

installed my Style19's today 205/45/17 now just need to drop my TI=]

[32styledTI]

those look so nice man, its like they were brand new or just refinished! Very good!

Your car looks in the same stage as mine, Nice New wheels but you need a drop.. just like me! Step by step... damn i need those tails

everything i put on my car makes me need something else...

[familytruckster]

Washed it, cleaned up the headlights, vacuumed, new front woofers, topped of the oil, pulled the rear brakes apart and lubed them, checked the tires...

I think I'm going to cut the exhaust off again and move the muffler forward. The tip just sticks out too far.

If they'll let you return them you should. You can order them from Tischer (getbmwparts.com) for $32.86 each plus around $7.00 shipping. Do you have a BMWCCA membership? Most dealerships give around 20% off list if you do.

[familytruckster]

That or get them from pelican, or just a local parts store-if they can get them. I think rockauto.com has them too.

The CV boot kit from BMW is insane also, like 40 bucks per joint...so 160 for both axles. Rockauto had the kits for 7 bucks each.

There is a link to the BMW CCA website towards the top of this page.
You don't need to be a members to buy parts from getbmwparts.com. Only if you pick up parts at their location.
