    Here's my relocation for reference. The way myself and a couple others have done it is a little different to the way the BMW instructions say to do it, but it's much better this way.

    Nice! What's the jug in the 'drug bin'? Is that the BMW 'emergency fluid reservoir'?

    Yup, BMWP bar requires that as well. Not too difficult of a job to do, added bonus is if you have camber/caster plates your adjustment knob won't interfere with the box with high camber/caster angles

    If it didn't have the raised feet and was competitive in price with the DMG brace, I'd be interested.

    It's super sexy but so is the Pro 46 RC, which I got for 25% of the price of this one.

    Regardless of the value proposition, it's super sweet that a company with a proven eye for quality is still developing things for the platform.

    Was not convinced with the design of this product, price is also too high.

    I made my own...for like, 5 bucks lol


    It does look good, but not sure about how much stronger/functional it is over stock.

    That bar looks awesome! I wonder how it’ll hold up ? If the bar breaks and it’s discontinued you’re screwed.

    Stock bar also has slots on main section which is why I have a dmg on the way.

    Doesn't make sense how it's raised unless they made it to fit 01s and such but wouldn't lend itself to a properly flush sitting bar.

    From what I gather, they used an OEM piece which failed structurally to mold this one, so I imagine they reinforced it over the OEM variant.
