Engine Bay Strut Cross Braces
The original engine bay Strut Cross Braces are so ugly and just like cheap water pipes
Did anyone change to a better after market Strut Cross Braces?

I’ve felt they were a bit too industrial as well and have been on a search for a more attractive alternative recently.
Short story is you won’t find anything specifically for the G29. You can however find a few for its sibling, the A90 Supra. I’m close to ordering this one: https://www.maperformance.com/produc...UaAveQEALw_wcB Last edited by PrionFawkes; 07-17-2020 at 07:39 AM.. |

Came across these Strut Cross Braces for G29 from BMS while shopping for my M340iX.

Debated spraying mine black but ordered the BMS parts instead. Talked to the guys who sell the Supra parts & they said they were not sure their part would fit the BMW.
Expect I could have made a deal with them to beta the units but have used BMS stuff since the first year the JB4 for the N54 was available. Pricey as a individual unit but compared to the cost of a M40i its a rounding error.

Took a break from the COBRA & did something I said I absolutely would not do. Mod the Z4. Was checking for leaks etc when this horror hit my eye. A reasonably expensive car with portable baby highchair support braces. They had to go. Got two CNC cut solid bars from BMS the guys who do the JB4 tuner kits for BMW & other makes with turbos.
Portable Baby Highchair Braces. A hollow tube with squished ends. BMS CNC solid bar braces

Never paid any attention to it but would suspect since the BMW part is a hollow tube its lighter.
