I was just thinking the other day that the OEM strut tower bar looks a bit whimpy. However, I think we could get a more noticable handling performance improvement by installing the thicker M5 front stabilizer bar - for less money.

But I did install a custom strut tower brace on my 740i (which did not have OEM) and it made a big improvement in handing.

Also, it looks like the Dinan free flow exhaust for the 550i is now available: $1,399. Now, if they can get the other goodies that go with that (high flow air intake, software), we might have something.

New Dinan 550i stuff.

I had placed an order for the Dinan Strut Bar last week. I am glad to see it is out already, maybe I will have it next week!! They are also releasing the rear brace soon, which I also plan on getting.

BTW, my friend owns a body shop and he gets me 20% off any Dinan parts, so I am paying $400.

LUCKY! If they have it in stock, I think I'll drive over there next week and pick one up. I hope my sales guy can hook me up like he did with the rest of my Dinan mods.

Is the rear brace also going to be in CF?

I just noticed that the factory strut brace is still in place and this aftermarket piece is using different mounting points. Interesting...
