Rear strut brace BMW E90 E91 E92

With this BMW E90 rear strut brace, which also fits the E91 and E92, you make the rear end a lot stiffer. The brace connects the left and right sides at the rear and is suitable for the coupé, the saloon and the Touring. This improves handling and safety, especially when you push the car hard through corners or drift it.

Anyone running an E9X on coilovers, with wide tyres or a locked differential, puts the rear end under considerable stress. This sturdy 2.28 kg brace absorbs those forces, so the rear stays predictable.

Installation and delivery

The BMW E90 rear strut brace is fixed to both sides of the rear with the two angle brackets. Place the brace in position, screw in the bolts by hand and then tighten them evenly with a torque wrench. Clean the contact surfaces beforehand so that the brackets sit flat against the body.

Check after the first few hundred kilometres that the bolts are still tight. If you drift or go on track regularly, include the brace in your standard check before every event.

See our full range in the strut braces category. If you want to stiffen the rear of your E9X even further, also take a look at the lower rear strut brace for the E90, E91 and E92.

A drift car is only as good as its rear end, and that starts with a stiff body.

Why choose this BMW E90 rear strut brace?

The brace is made for all three body styles of the E9X, with a heavy steel profile and accurately cut brackets. It is welded in jigs by a certified welder, so the dimensions are right. This BMW E90 rear strut brace, also for the E91 and E92, is for anyone who wants to seriously stiffen the rear for road, track or drifting.
