No, I immediately noticed the difference. Handling has much improved. I've had strut bars all the back in my Import days so I knew that when someone made a bar for the BMW I was definitely gonna get one. Not gonna upgrade my sways cause I don't want the car to be too stiff. For me I feel my car is dialed in perfect for my kind of driving

Hey guys, just installed the strut bar but I'm noticing a little bit of play. Can you guys take a look on the YouTube video I uploaded. I'm not sure what I could do, it's pretty darn tight already. |

The bolts holding the actual bar to the base is fully tight correct? Post a picture of that linkage so I can verify the bolt setup is correct.

Seems like you don't have the bolt that's connecting the strut bar to the brace tightened? Video was kinda quick to see what's moving at the base

Here are pictures of the install.
I used a hex tool to hold one side (to prevent from spinning) and a wrench to tighten and they are tight. Then I used a wrench to tighten the bar across Did you guys do something different? |

In the last picture, you can see a big gap between the bar and the black base. Tighten that down more.

I tried. Nothing happens. The bolt that went through the tower brace and bar won't get any tighter. Are you guys using the same method to tighten? By using a hex tool on the hexa head then wrench on other side? |

I didn't use a wrench. I used a socket that fit snuggly and a hex. Both were on breaker bars, you're basically trying to bend the bracket initially. Then, back it off a tad and then torque down to 24nm.
