I have one of these as well, bought from a forum member here. He originally bought it from Tuner Motorsports. The Tuner one and ebay one are literally the same thing, just at triple the price (yikes). It's a tad tight, but fits without issues. You'll notice in the picture that it leaves a bit of an indent in the foam insulation. Doesn't bulge the hood at all or make it harder to close, just very tight.
Tips on install:
BMW recommends replacing the strut tower bolts, but if you have aftermarket coilovers or struts, this is likely moot. P/N is 31306795151, they changed from hex to torx so that's a bit annoying. Torque is 28nm.
Wiechers, the company that originally designed this, suggests a torque rating of 24nm for the bolts that connect the strut brace (silver part) to the mounting triangle (black part). You'll also need a hex bit for this part. I used a torx bit, but it was very sketch. Use the proper tools.
