Been looking at getting this brace as a pre-cursor to get the Ohlins R&T coilovers but I noticed something with your pictures in the OP. The three nuts holding the upper strut plate to the tower only have a few threads engaged. That is not a good thing when lock nuts are used.
Is there a fix for this? |

On the tower ring side BMW long reach nuts are used. The nuts are grabbing at least another 5mm of threads below the tower rings. |

Ahh so the cylindrical extension from the bottom of the nut is also threaded?

Is modification needed for 2010 models? I did see the photos with pre-2011 N54, but was concerned whether or not the 2010 models needed modification to #13 for installation.
Any added benefit, in addition to front control arms and stiffer anti-roll bar, besides added driver control.

You will get a better steering response from the added stiffness of the front-end. Feed back from the tires will also be better. And if you happen to run adjustable dampers, you can get to your adjustments much easier. |
