Default Strut tower brace

Will this 04 10 BMW E60 5 Series Aluminum Upper Front Strut Bar Racing Tower Brace Bar | eBay fit to 545i? They do not list it but there is 550i. Are there deference in 545and 550 in engine clearence? Or Is there any strut bar or brace that fits 545i with existing OEM one. It won't do much performance wise but I like how it looks.

I looked at our car, and it seems like the positive battery jumper terminal might be in the way of installing this strut bar. Otherwise, it looks pretty good with the BMW letters in the middle.

Replace the top post battery with a side post battery if the additional cost is worth it to you.
