That does look nice. I think this is the first time I've seen this item for the E60. I had one by Dinan on my E36 and it made a difference in the response of the front end. I put that on my list of must haves. I would like to know also where you ordered from and if not too much to ask, the price?

Racing Dynamics makes good braces. I like the look of this one, but doubt it would feel that much different - 5 series is not the kind of car you will see much difference in driving by adding a strut bar.
I told my wife I just bought my Christmas present from her.
Which would you rather have, a really cool looking Racing Dynamics strut brace or a new hedge trimmer and some shirts?

Wow! $420 + tax and shipping and additional 5 lbs. I'll get one when I go to the track (which will never happen).

...but not for $420...let us know if u feel any difference at all.. Some folks think $4k for BBS LM's is nuts but to me they are worth every penny. I spent all day Sunday cleaning all the grime and brake dust off my LM's getting them ready for their winter wax.
I have also read criticisms of Dinan mods being "not worth the money" but again I am very happy with my Dinan exhaust and stage 1 tune.
Since the E60 front end is so aluminum intensive I think a strut brace is a good add but that's just my opinion. And I believe this the only one available.
