I mean how much could a brace cost to mass produce? $10, $20 ??
Just a thought.
Seems like more than just a thought. My "data" is my experience. If that's not good enough for you, then by all means wait for a spreadsheet. Ricer? You mean my previous cars? Anykind of bracing that tightens up the chassis will improve handling. BMW's are not exempt from this. Improved suspension, rims all are proven to enhance an already great platform.

BMW's are built for the everyday person, some of whom have no need for the added benefit and cost for such an item. Plus anytime you add bars and such, the ride comfort decreases. You alrady have people here who complain that the regular or sport suspension is too "hard" already .

So ChiTown, believe it or not if you want, but you don't have to degrade the discussion with "ricer" talk. You could also add me to your ignore list.
