INSTALL A FRONT STRUT BRACE ON YOUR 3 / 4 SERIES BMW FOR BETTER HANDLING!

[@fthirty3]

I'm really happy with how this turned out. 🔥🔥🔥 This is the easiest way to improve the handling on your 3 or 4 series BMW! This is my favorite front strut brace to install for the 3 and 4 series BMW's because of both its looks and light weight design.

I've read that those bolts are supposed to be "single-use" meaning you are supposed to replace them if you take them out. I've also read that plenty of people just ignored this part of the spec and seem fine

[@fthirty3]

Technically they are single use, I usually replace them after 2 or 3 times.

@@fthirty3 Thanks for confirming, that's good to know! I was considering buying some ahead of time in case I strip any bolts when I install my strut brace. So far I turn out to be really good at stripping bolts/screws whenever I install something on my F32 😭

The best way to improve the handling of a 435i is to dump the runflats and replace them with traditional tires plus a spare/tools/jack. I did and could feel the improvement immediately! Runflats have terrible problems - lower mileage before replacement, less precise steering/handling, longer braking distances, great weakness in a sidewall puncture, etc., etc.

[@djbrissette]

Also ditched the runflats for Firehawk Indy 500 and never looked back. a full set of Indy500 was 100$ more than just 2 front runflat tires

Was hoping you’d drop a video for this! Thanks, definitely going to try it on my F33

[@trconway]

Well done video. What are the size of the bolts if I want to replace the original?

[@fthirty3]

The bolts vary depending on which suspension you have. below is the one for mine that has adaptive suspension. What's great about getting it from FCP euro is that you can replace the bolts every time with their lifetime warranty. 💪 www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-hex-bolt-with-washer-m10x3010-9-31306863134

I wanted to purchase this exact strut brace but unfortunately it doesn't fit on 2019 440i :( I think they only support the older F32's like 435i
