1M strut tower brace on a 135i

So, if I want to pull the pins and add camber (this brace is already on my car) I’ll need to remove the rings on the tops of the struts completely? Also, is there adjustment built into the bar to allow the camber adjustment?

Yes.

Actually just a quick note, yes the bars allow for some adjustment for camber, but you will be limited in the amount of camber you can run because the holes aren't that much bigger than the threads so adjustment is minimal, and the rings mount over the old brace mounting point with minimal clearance.

For reference I have -3.5 deg, and in order to make the 1M brace work, I had to slot the holes on the bars, and grind down the old brace mounting point to get the 1M rings to fit over them.

Easy access to rebound adjustment tho is priceless, well... $350 from bmwpartstore lol

n54pete , are you on stock or m3 arms? Reason why I ask is I am at 3.8 degrees camber and did none of that. Just bolt up the brace and adjust my camber plate to max. But I am also running m3 arms.

Is that a carbon wrap on the bar?

Update: I'm an idiot, looking at it again, its cuz the previous owner slotted the strut tower holes to get the camber he wanted, but not sure why, as it has camber plates so he could have done the same as you and adjusted the camber plates to max to do the same, o well, its done now.

and yes wrap on the bar cuz rice life lol

Yes, you only need to adjust your camber plates to get that amount of camber. Hopefully not too much damage was done to your strut tower.
