BMW Carbon Fiber Strut Brace
According to the BMW website, they make a Carbon Fiber Strut Brace that fits the 135i......... does anyone know if this is correct ? If so, does anyone out there have this mod on their 135i ?

Yes they do and it is rediculously expensive. Something like $900.00 if I recalll correctly.

Brace doesn't currently fit over the standard airbox. If and when BMW releases their Performance Intake, that is designed to fit over the airbox. Plus a lot of the aftermarket airboxes also accommodate the brace.

comparison is between a picture on a 3 series and 1 series

It fits over the stock air box, but isn't recommended to use on the N54 motor. The fact that it sits so close to the air box could cause it to break or crack if you hit the road improperly
