Description
While the F8X M3 and M4 received a huge carbon fiber strut brace that was not only incredibly strong, tying the front strut towers to the front core support, but incredibly beautiful as well. Unfortunately, though it was also an extremely functional piece, working with the space and cost constraints, BMW utilized a stamped steel 2-piece strut brace package for G8X cars.
Karbonius has taken it upon themselves to fully redesign the G8x factory front strut brace and replace it with an autoclave cured, 100% Prepreg carbon fiber tubular system, thus reducing the joints and possible weak points. Unlike most other G8x strut braces on the market, the unique 1-piece v-brace doesn't use weaker multi-piece jointed designs or off-the-shelf carbon tubes inserted into chassis mounts.
In addition to increasing rigidity, Karbonius has also shaved over 5.5 lbs of weight when compared to the factory piece. Besides the performance benefits, the enhanced aesthetic is almost worth it on its own, it may just rival the beauty of the factory F8x carbon brace.
Karbonius' v-brace bar is complemented with a CNC machined 6061 aluminum mount that is integrated into the bar itself for added strength. Installation is quick and easy, utilizing factory hardware.
:
- 2.5kg lighter than the OE brace
- Anodized Black Mounts
- Retains single-piece V-brace for maximum strength and rigidity; installs with factory hardware
