M4 alloy strut brace on F2x 2 series
See attached from F30post - given that std fit strut brace, part # 51617378711 - see Realoem link below - is common between F2x and F3x, has anyone done stages 1 and 2 on an M235i ???

I don't think anyone has confirmed this yet. The F8X M3/M4 strut brace can be found on the M235I Racing though. Seeing the car in the flesh, I don't think it's a direct bolt-on.

Guys,
The m235i owner is essential doing what Steve Jr did to his 428i GC in the thread in my 1st post. I will update once he has completed. Meanwhile some Mx35i owners in Germany are fitting M2 MP suspension to their cars and loving the OEM coilover upgrade......more food for thought, eh !!! http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...27&postcount=1 BP

I only wonder how much more it costs rebranded since the original is over 2,000 euro (or, closer to $3000 in some locations). I just looked at the pictures and I can tell those are KW parts, there's still one KW coilover kit collecting dust in my garage. Last edited by x233; 05-17-2016 at 02:09 PM.. |

Reviving an old post here
Has anyone has successfully installed the F8x carbon strutbar on a 4cyl 228/230/328/330/428/430? And if so how did you go about the air cleaner box? |
