Product Details
This Whiteline Front Strut Tower Brace fits the 2001-2006 BMW 330xi 3 Series (E46). Position: front. Included: 1 strut brace. Whiteline's note for this fit: Exclude models with traction control. Whiteline part number: KSB557.
Chassis stiffness is easy to underrate. A brace across the strut towers connects two points that would otherwise move on their own, which keeps the front suspension working as designed and gives the steering a more consistent, communicative feel.
Installation is rated moderate, with about half an hour of work listed. No alignment is needed afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the 330xi 3 Series: Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Rear Sway Bar Link, and Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit.
Features
- Chassis stiffness: Reduces flex to help hold alignment angles and spring rates steady.
- Matched kit: Each part in the kit was picked to suit the vehicle.
- Finish: Polished alloy construction looks good in the engine bay.
