No problem, that bracket can be a bear to get tight. Definitely not something you can do easily with those normal 6" hex keys lol

Shipping took forever to get mine. That would be awesome if yours gets here early

[ramman434]

Crossin' my fingers

I finally got a shady email this morning (didn't open on my phone), but ended up having my tracking info out of Latvia. Looks like it's sitting in the Latvian customs right now.

It's odd because Ebay gave me a notice of shipment on 5/28 that it had left the warehouse, but apparently it's been sitting in limbo at the border for 2 weeks...

Sound familiar... Eventually mine showed up. I pushed him for status updates the whole time - he eventually reshipped

[Sylverlee]

Get ready to wait ~4-6 weeks in total since the day you placed the order.

[lsturbointeg]

Same here! Money took forever after payment was made. Good thing I wasn't in a rush

[ramman434]

Welp, USPS just called me on my RING so I could have them "sign" for the pkg. It's finally in. I know what I'll be doing either tonight or tomorrow

Took exactly 1-month to get

[ramman434]

Well looks alright, but has definitely had some wear and tear on the finish. I'll end of having to paint it like many of y'all have. Not to bothered about it now.
I'll check fitment tonight or tomorrow morning

Bro, your shit looks pretty beat up! At least that part won't show. Definitely paint it. I think in the end you'll be happy with this as I'm still loving mine plus I've been taking corners like a mad man and the car is just sticking

[ramman434]

Yeah package didn't look too great, and mail lady said she had to retake one end herself.

What did y'all use to take of the OEM bolts? I don't have a star head in all of my ratchet stuff (thanks BMW)

I used a torx socket. If you're planning on working on your car at all, invest in torx sockets and bits. BMW (and a lot of European cars) use them all over the place

This! there's so much Torx you'll be needing for future upgrades and repairs.

i have coilovers so mine doesn't have that

[ramman434]

Got it installed tonight. I lucked out and all of my holes lined up perfectly, so no drilling or anything. For future reference you'll need:
E14 Reverse Torx Bit
17mm socket
17mm wrench
1/4 Allen wrench

Took me about 40 min (taking my sweet time after finishing yard work)

1st image came out blurry. I'll get better ones tomorrow

well it's good to hear you didn't have any issues with everything lining up just like mine looks like Bmwbro had the bad one

[ramman434]

Yeah I really lucked out.

UPDATE: I'm on completely stock everything, and leaving my neighborhood I have to take a pretty strong U-Turn in the mornings to avoid sitting forever at a light.

Even in Eco-Mode, with soft suspension settings, I can tell how much body-roll was reduced. It was a night and day difference how much the car stayed planted.

[BimmerHausPerformance]

Yea lucky you!!!

Planning on doing Silvers Neomaxx coils soon, and I realized that the bar base covers the adjuster, which makes it a pain to adjust. Might just leave the bar off until I've dialed in the settings for the front.

[BimmerHausPerformance]

Yup, same thing happened to me lol
