Found the matching rear strut bars...again...don't know for sure if it'll fit? $128. These are normally called lower tie bars.


http://m.ebay.com/itm/BMW-F-10-525-2...029?nav=SEARCH

$116 for part#1867 I did email them to confirm fitment

Looking to see how this helps. Looks like they do a lot of suspension work for various BMW models , Silvias, 350 ect...

550Reasons have you removed this piece or do have it on and have any updates so far? I'm close to pulling the trigger on this.

That would be SWEET but I've never seen a triangulated bar on an F10?

I havent removed it, Still in there holding pretty good.
I wouldnt recommend it for any N63 owners, but someone should give it a try on smaller engines.

You wouldn't recommend because of fitment or because you didn't notice less body roll?

its fits, but very tight, presses down a bit on the intake boxes and thats without the engine cover.

as for body roll, i noticed some stiffness, nothing crazy.

Let me know since we have the same motor. My next purchase looks like springs. Acs or h&r OE, but suspension components none the less. Already did the ECS sway bar kit and it helped, but I need more.

to be honest, I like more for looks, now that the engine cover is off exposes the sexy N63 with the 2 turbos sitting up top, so its nice to show it off.

Ok little Update:

I decided to finally take it off to paint it, I noticed some marks on the bottom of it where it was touching the intake boxes, nothing mayor, but since the bar is metal and the intakes are plastic, the bar gets super hot. I dont care because I already ordered BadBlack's Intakes so that should get rid of those boxes. Here are some photos.

I think that just shows how much flex there is going on when the car is banking corners and hard turns. Probably even with normal cornering but our cars are pretty heavy just by looking at those impression marks.

Yea agree, so I guess I still don't suggest it for a 550i but possibly for smaller engines. I will chime in once I get the intakes and how it fits, it still is fairly tight with the middle area tho

Man it sucks, I had the bar hanging while painting and drying, and went to move it and dropped it but it's ok sorta

Finished painting the bars, putting it back on I realized how it pushes into the intake boxes a bit. They are just so wide
