OEM Strut tower bars are used in the front of the vehicle to prevent chassis flex at the top of the strut mounting positions. Turner carries genuine factory replacements as well as high performance aftermarket options.
Front strut brace - stressbar, BMW Z3 6-cyl/M-Roadster/M-Coupe 98-6/00 (exc S54). Each Racing Dynamics strut brace was design by professional race car engineers for chassis stiffness and ease of mounting. Each strut brace is designed using our specially designed extrusion for increased stiffness and properties to allow bending of the alloy without crimping at the bends or need to cut and weld multiple pieces (an inherently weaker design). End plates are machined on high speed CNC machining centers for exactness and repeatability ensuring the BMW owner of the finest strut brace available anywhere.

Original BMW chassis reinforcement developed for the special M3 LTW (Lightweight) model. This tubular-steel part connects the front subframe to the body and gives the car a more solid feel with less flex. Every convertible and Roadster model uses a similar design to address inherent chassis flex in the front of the car. Fits all E36 and Z3 chassis BMWs.
By adding this Genuine BMW Motorsport cross brace, you'll dramatically reduce that flex and movement in the front half of the body on your E36. This is a must-have on any BMW E36 that has an upgraded suspension, larger sway bars, is driven aggressively or sees ANY amount of track time. The Xbrace is a factory BMW Motorsport part, so design and fit are both great and the installation is straight forward and easy. Perhaps best of all is the low price compared to the impact the Motorsport X-brace has on the E36 chassis. If your car is a 1992-1996 model, be sure to select the option below so we include the proper hardware (nutserts) to use during installation (1997-1999 cars don't require them.)
The E36 Motorsport X Brace / Cross Brace fits: 1992-1995 E36 325i, 325is, 325ic 1996-1998 E36 328i, 328is, 328ic 1997-1999 E36 323is, 323ic 1992-1999 E36 318i, 318is, 318ic, 318ti 1995-1995 E36 M3 3.0 liter 1996-1999 E36 M3 3.2 liter 1996-2002 Z3 Roadster & Coupe (all)
