228i/220i Engine Front struts mystery
Hi guys, just noticed while looking at the engine bay pictures, some F22 come with a pair of strut bar from front wheel tower to the radiator section, where as some don't have it.
May I know if this is an optional item, and if it can be purchased? Bay with Front Struts Bay without front struts |

I'm thinking that they couldn't hurt if you are trying to get more rigidity in the chassis. Especially with the absence of strut bar options.

Well now ...
Potentially interesting note: the M2 has these.
I can't remember if my Feb 2015-build 228i M Sport has them. Will check after work. Do M235s have these? THP-equipped 228is (which may also have rear subframe bracing that regular 228is don't have; still looking into that)? I'm wondering if these are yet another thing that was added for March 2015-and-after builds (except F23s, which already had all the changes that the March 2015 F22 builds received). Damnation, BMW!
