Body Brace Install4 BMW Z3 and ///M Body Brace (Set of 2)
$0.00

This product is NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

This is the only bracing product that addresses longitudinal flex of the Z3 chassis, and the improvement in rigidity is very dramatic. Any road surface that otherwise would cause flex (bending) in the center section of the body structure is eliminated. "Thrilling" is the only word to describe the results.

The Body Brace consists of two parallel, heavy gauge steel supports that span the entire under section of the passenger compartment and provide the required resistance to add considerable rigidity and greatly improve on the every day driving experience. Handling is substantially sharper as a result of the additional support. The uneven roads or rough railroad crossings that formerly made you wince will no longer be an issue following installation. This product will reduce or eliminate the sheet metal flexing that most Z3 owners complain about and is designed to appear as original manufacturers equipment, not like an added aftermarket accessory, built to higher quality standards with superior materials and offered at a much lower price than the competitive products, setting a new standard in design and value. Fits all models of Z3 Roadsters and ///M series including the S54 engine.

A Rear Strut Brace IS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION of the Body Brace in order to secure the Body Brace supports to the rear of the vehicle. The front of the supports bolt to existing body parts. Use of a Front Strut Brace is not required for the Body Brace installation but when used in combination, the three units acting together provide outstanding results and a remarkable improvement in the rigidity of the car.

The available stock colors are Black and Silver powder coating. Chrome plating is available for an additional $300 and will take an additional 3-4 weeks due to the three steps involved in the restoration grade process. A two year warranty is included on the powder coat and chrome plate finishes. 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on the part for the life of the car against fracture or failure (for any unmodified BMWs without after-market performance accessories already installed, not including collisions or deformations of any kind). CLICK on the picture or title above for additional images. This is the perfect performance enhancement and a must have item for any Roadster enthusiast!

NOTE: Since there are innumerable after-market suspension products along with wheel, tire and other product combinations that may reduce ground clearance, please be advised the satisfaction guarantee does not include issues related to ground clearance and/or " bottoming out", so be sure you have considered this before placing your order. 

Installation of the Body-Brace may reduce the ground clearance of your vehicle from 1/4 to 1/2 inch. If you have aftermarket suspension products that have lowered your car already, the addition of the Body-Brace may cause you to bottom out on some speed bumps, rolled curbs or other similar obstructions. However, stiffer springs or shock settings may prevent bottoming out due to the shorter suspension travel of these products. The Installation instructions clearly define the optimal installation, and extra spacers are provided to obtain the greatest ground clearance in your vehicle. In some cases, this may not be sufficient to prevent bottoming out under certain conditions. The test vehicle was a 2000 ///M Roadster with a Dinan Stage III suspension kit and is 1/2 inch lower than non ///M Models.  In approximately 20,000 miles of road testing under varied conditions, there have been no ground clearance issues on the test car.

 A HANDY TOOL FOR CHANGING WHEELS

Since BMWs have lug BOLTS instead of lug NUTS, there is nothing to hold the wheel against the hub when the bolts are removed and it simply drops. This is not very user-friendly and you have to be ready to hold the wheel and support the weight when the bolts are removed. Sometimes the wheel can drop and scratch itself against the exposed wheel hub.  The set of two BMW Universal Wheel Pins solves this problem.

Simply remove two of the lug bolts and screw in a Wheel Pin in each location, then remove the remaining lug bolts. The Wheel Pins support the weight of the wheel so you can simply pull the wheel toward you and it will slide off the end of the Wheel Pins. Reverse the procedure for mounting the wheel by sliding two of the wheel holes onto the Wheel Pins and push the wheel against the hub. Insert two lug bolts to hold the wheel in place and then remove the Wheel Pins and install the remaining lug bolts. The photo shows a hole drilled in the end of the tool but that is unnecessary and has been eliminated. Fits all BMWs.

This is the perfect accessory and a must have item for any Roadster enthusiast!
