I must be the 1st on any BMW forum to install the 3 Ultra Racing Strut bars and be the white mice to test them.

I have got the 3 Ultra Racing Strut bars and installed them all with some DIY need doing.

1st let me say this for the installation:
these 3 bars are design for stock cars with out any mods under the car.
If you planning to get these and have done some mods like 3rd party exhaust, then you will need to do some DIY on the exhaust.
I fitted the front and middle bar which was OK.
BUT can not fit the real 1 because of the Arqray exhaust was in the way.
The stock exhaust will be ok to fit the real bar.
The Arqray exhaust was in the way for the bar to fit so I need to do some DIY on the Arqray exhaust which I need to put a u shape so that the bar will not hit the Arqray exhaust.
also I would get 3 racing muffler rubber which are much harder and shorter so the the exhaust will move very little when the car is bouncing around.

As of how good they are:
well if you love driving your car every day and what a better handling then this is a must install for any E60.
the feeling is so good, it is like the car is on rail when going around corners.
The Chassis is much more stronger now and the steeling is much better.
The ride on the car is alot more soild and smooth.

If you like to install these, I would install them 1st then the exhaust and other stuff. I made a mistick of installing the exhaust 1st and had to take it off and mod the exhaust to fit the bar.

you can PM me for a price on the 3 bars and shipping.
I will start a GB end of this month because 1 of my members in HK need to install this and I like to know if the fit cars with Dynamic Driving Control.

how much were the 3 strut bars and what vendor did you purchase them from?

Howitzer

That's awesome! Grats! I bet that is a huge performance boost in handling / corners and absolute hell on bumps.

is your car new? it's spotless underneath.

how exactly do these little bars help your car, when you just bolt them next to the suspension subframes which are heavy cast aluminum?

1 thing I forgot to say I have not lowered my car and just added the 3 strut bars and the outcome is very very good.
I also have the other 2 anti roll bars which are H&R and the front is on the hard and back is on middle.
I hope to try it out on a car with lowered springs

here is the website of the maker

yes my car is only 6 months old.
this is what I was thinking too, the heavy cast aluminum looks so strong but it is not.
once you put them on there is little room for the subframes to move.
also these 3 bars are not just for handling it is for safety too.

on my 7 seater I have 9 bars too because jap cars are not as strong as euro cars.

Im not a pro racing driver but I know a few that do trackday all the time and the have got a track car and all of them say, if you what a better and safer car then bars is a must.
this is why I tried it out on my e60.

So this tightens up body-flex and doesn't sacrifice smooth ride? Excellent wright up!
