    @Alex
    Plates + Stiffer Bushings is everything you need. Forget the vincebar, its way over the top and intrusive. I personally wouldn't consider buying any car with such an invasive install done.
    I would die a little inside if i knew that a CSL was ruined with this. :bigcry:

    If you are thinking about going to these lengths, at this point just get a half cage tied to the struts installed.

    Thanks to James Redish for dropping by, i think we all can learn alot from you in this department. :thumbs:

      I have to admite that Vicebar looks way ott. Each to their own I guess, but as Select said its incredibly invasive.

      Alx, If your car does not currently have a crack you may consider injecting the resin as a preventative measure.

        I considered the resin, bit I didn't find anyone in my area that does it.

        BMW says that they don't do it anymore.

        I also read that it makes it difficult to weld afterwards as the resin is inflammable.

          My sons had his welded up by BMW with the resin in, BMW wouldn't redo the full panel again, foc :whistle: Will have to see how this pans out.

            Interesting..did you ask what is their way to resolve the issue? Im guessing they would just replace the Bootfloor for the thousandth time? I might just ask my dealer what they advise, just out of curiousity.

            Yes, that is correct it will melt and eventually catch fire. I'll have a look, as far as i know BMW released a bulletin regarding that concern.

              I guess they would wait for it to break and then replace the entire floor.

              The local BMW garage is not very keen on "old" BMWs.

              They are too busy working on the Active Tourers...
