These braces help noticably with stiff coilovers. The brace spreads impacts between both front coilovers so you don't get jackhammered as hard when hitting a bump.

@wingedhussar5528 Год назад

The bolts are listed as single use by BMW. Although you can reuse them I would not torque past the 30nm. Only do the 90 degree turn if you are using new bolts.

@HabibiOO7 4 года назад

Installed this on my F31 & wow! you definitely feel the difference, I would also suggest the Autoteknik lower reinforcement brace also!

@hishams89 4 года назад

Hello Osama, what does the lower brace exactly do? How can you describe the difference? Thanks

@noobracing321 4 года назад

Finally got around to installing this. This is definitely a necessity for an F30. Hopefully they do a the rear one video.

@guccipig2782 Год назад

What does it do ?

@Awackypenguin 4 года назад

I've done something similar in my F10. DO NOT OVER TORQUE IT. The strut tower threads strip pretty damn easily for some reason, and if you strip it you'll need to either drill and tap a size larger, or so a helicoil repair.

@CookiesUnleashed 4 года назад

is doing that extra 90 degrees over torquing it?

@boganthesue8058 Год назад

That’s what I did. Went for larger size

@boardelia 11 месяцев назад

How many nm would you concider ? Like 30 and avoid the 90d turn ?

@johnungvarsky8875 4 года назад

Another excellent video, Bryan. Attempting to attach a photo of my strut brace in case anyone is wondering how it looks powder coated.

@brianfortenberry1012 Год назад

Going to be my next purchase. Thanks Brian for Putting out so much relevant helpful info

@fobrob49 4 года назад

I was just looking at these on your site the other night. Glad the video finally rolled out. Definitely purchasing once the weather improves and I have time to work on the car.

Damn it Brian, now I have to drop $600 on that sweet carbon fiber one. Unless you wanna send me one... 🤣

@Kevin-gy1gx 4 года назад

thanks Brian，nice video. I just wondering if this strut brace can avoid the “battery box cover”? Because you know some F30 LCI they have a extra plastic cover behind the left shock tower .

@phulei Год назад

So I have to take it out every time the engine cover needs to be removed? And do those bolts need to be replaced every time since they’re aluminium? Thank you

@Specter_TF141 4 года назад

Been thinking of getting one thanks for these videos man 💪🏼

@cossied01 2 года назад

I sourced 5mm longer bolts to allow for the thickness of the brace plate.

Hey Brian just out of curiosity what's the weight difference between steel and aluminum one ? And as always great video 🙂

My question is, how should the oil be changed when the tower struts are on? I have one with tower struts on, problematic !?

@DJRanoia 4 года назад

Oh no the poor engine cowl is stuck now. I'm glad there is an easy removal for that.

@fondoo 4 года назад

will it fit in a F36 and is the carbon version full carbon???

@maskof 4 года назад

Once you've torqued the bolts to spec, why are you torquing an extra 90 degrees?

@iliamaliarchuk 4 года назад

Do a review for f30 vs f80

@rangerover4197 Год назад

Do we have to change the bolt as well?

@mrlten2907 4 года назад

Aren't those strut tower bolts a bit too short because of the extra height of the base plate?

@johnungvarsky8875 4 года назад

Maarten Houtman The base plate isn’t that thick and the stock bolts are pretty long. No issues. I can measure both and post the measurements if someone is really interested.

@HabibiOO7 4 года назад

I removed the thick oem washers & put thinner ones, works fine.

@esitu5655 4 года назад

Lowes has some aluminum anodized washers, or stainless steel should be ok also. Maybe just put a thin film of anti-seize compound or silicone grease in between.

@trconway 3 месяца назад

what size are the bolts? BMW part number?

@bensmith715 4 года назад

Looking at ordering one but it seems BMW lists the strut tower bolts as single use since they stretch. Has anyone used the old bolts again?

@JayLafray 4 года назад

Ben Smith I just reused mine. Everything seems fine. No issues.

@davidrubin2612 4 года назад

is there a cheaper on that exists i dont see why its so expensive :(

@allenzelt4481 Год назад

So when trying to remove the bolts like at 2:34, I heard a pop and the top of the bolt sheared off, leaving the threaded portion in the socket. It was on the center of the three front-side bolts. What can I do to remove the remained of the bolt, and to make sure it doesn’t happen to any more of them? I very much want to install this!

@boardelia 11 месяцев назад

You can use make a hole on the bolt with an electric drill

@theazndudelivefree 4 года назад

Did you replace those nuts since they are angle torqued?

@jackhere4594 2 года назад

u say it tightens it up. the electric power steering is already super tight or sensistive, too sensitive for my liking to be exact. ! if this tightens it up more, u can just blow on the steering wheel and ur in the other lane. so is that what u mean by tightens it up?

@cal79 4 года назад

Will these fit my bmw 435d f33 2015

@moonx02 4 года назад

Would this fit a 2016 F34?

@tgardner88 4 года назад

I can attest that it makes a noticeable difference and that is with 17" wheels on my F30. I am having 18" M400 wheels installed and looking forward to how that feels. Has anyone other than Osama Bandi installed an Autotecknic lower reinforcement brace? Is this a DYI that a newb like me can do? Is it worth it? How about a video on that?

@KrisSchumi 3 года назад

If this improves handling as claimed, why doesn’t BMW do this themselves instead of leaving it for after market?

@dmallz 3 года назад

BMW does, It's one of the many differences between f30 and f80. Not all base cars come with these kind of upgrades because these ad on's help when the vehicle is driven hard. An F30 will be fine and last long without them, but performance wise it's better to have them. Inexpensive upgrade, very worth it. Noticable difference.

@bentalbottalbot 4 года назад

Why the extra 90 degrees

@johnungvarsky8875 4 года назад

crossplane That is the actual torque spec for those bolts from BMW. It’s in the Bentley manual and I would assume on sites like newtis.

@JayLafray 4 года назад

crossplane For my 2015 F32, the manual stated 28nm + 90 degree extra turn.
