Product Details
Looking for a front strut tower brace for your 2001-2006 BMW M3 Base? The Whiteline Front Strut Tower Brace is made for it. Application note: Exclude models with traction control. It goes on the front of the vehicle. Whiteline part number: KSB557. Chassis code: E46. Trim named on the listing: Base. In the box: 1 strut brace.
Body panels flex slightly under load, and in a corner the tops of the front struts move toward and away from each other. This brace spans that gap, which stiffens the front of the chassis and lets the suspension do its job with fewer unwanted changes in geometry.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about half an hour. It does not require a wheel alignment. Working on the same car? We also list Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Rear Sway Bar Link, and Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit for the BMW M3.
Features
- Matched kit: The parts in the kit are picked to work together on this car.
- Chassis stiffness: Helps keep alignment angles and spring rates consistent by cutting down flex.
- Finish: The polished alloy finish is a visual upgrade as well.
