Mid 4 pt brace installed ! for the X3 M40i
Finally got this installed and you could feel the difference immediately.
Car used to wobble if going through uneven surfaces, right now its just way more compliant and settles really quickly. Definitely recommend ! |

Burr001 Do you know what exactly fits on our X3 chassis? I am looking to get all of the UR bars that Aleksracing has.
So far it looks like: Mid Lower Rear lower What about: Strut Front Lower Rear lower large (looks like it fits) I may order them all and try my luck. I have used UR products before and they are well designed. |

you can always go X3M OEM brace...more money though. https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showp...1&postcount=54 PS when installing the rear small lower make sure you have another jack holding the subframe as it will drop once you take the 2 bolts off. Last edited by Burr001; 12-29-2023 at 12:25 AM.. |

The shop i went to was selling the front lower for the X4 G01 as well, they told me that if i installed onto the X3 G01, i'll have to cut some of the undercarriage panels to make space....
Those who installed the front lower, is it true ? |

To install the rear lower bar, you will need to remove both sides that hold up the rear subframe. There is no real room to install the bar one side at a time and to undo the bolt once the other side is attached.

Yeah also this brace is a different location than the f97 one. It is located just above the muffler and not the midbrace location.
