Puretech Rear X brace

[T.J.]

I’ll probably stick to my plan of PureTech rear brace plus front foam. Less invasive installs and more diy-able solutions than CMP or vincebar.

Do you already have plates welded/epoxied on the bottom?

Nope, but my car has low miles and no cracking

It does look good, and I considered getting one, but I 've planned to go with a vincebar topside mount install versus just a brace. I do think that underside plates + a brace like the one mentioned in this thread + front mount reinforcement (Vince gusset cup or similar) does alleviate the three failure points, but I rather the peace of mind of a one and done solution which I think the Vincebar and CMP solve at the root of inherent issue of the floor by tying them all together.

I'm down for a group buy. I'd sell my Dinan rear brace to put that in.

My theory is the BMW engineers designed our trunk floors "perfectly". The problem is the real world never produces perfection and the factory didn't hold to the engineer standards. The cracks are inconsistencies in the metal stamping. This gem is where I formed my in-depth theory http://www.ceb.ac.in/knowledge-cente...0Marciniak.pdf

GB sounds good if it materializes.
