New Strut Tower Brace Part number released

E90Fleet · 12-01-2005, 03:50 AM

You guy will rememebr in November i posted that BMW will be releasing a new Strut Brace accesory for the E90
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ht=strut+brace

Well they released one for the E90 and E46

This is a full tower to tower strut brace. Dont confuse it with the standard little ones that go from tower to firewall that all E90 have

the E90 part number is 51 71 0 406 937

I dont know about availaility yet, but it may be a little while before dealerships could get them

Cool, but I thought the car did come with strut braces.

i was looking at my engine bay, i notice from one side of the part where you mount that, it would block part of the oil cap. would it fit??

E90Fleet · 12-01-2005, 01:49 PM

It doesnt go straight across, its got 2 bends on it so it doesnt block the cap

longtran · 12-01-2005, 02:05 PM

Not surprised its not available in USA yet, since the part number was only released today in Germany.

Blackline lights took about a month or so to be available, so this should be there in the new year

The price isnt bad for a warranty approved strut brace.

Bump, since there seems to be a lot of interest in the old thread
