Front strut brace BMW E90 E91 E92 E93 335i 335 N54 N54B30

This front BMW 335i strut brace is made specifically for the E9x generation with the N54B30 engine. It fits all body variants: the E90 saloon, the E91 Touring, the E92 coupé and the E93 convertible. The brace connects the two strut towers and keeps the front end tighter when turning in.

The N54 is a popular base for tuning, and more power usually also means stiffer suspension and bigger tyres. That puts more load on the body around the towers. For anyone using their 335i on the circuit, at a drift day or simply on a twisty road, this brace is a logical upgrade. A BMW 335i strut brace is also one of the few suspension modifications you can fit yourself in an afternoon.

Installation and delivery

The brace is designed so that the original BMW reinforcements can stay in the car. You bolt the mounting brackets onto the strut towers and tighten the bolts with a torque wrench. Preferably work with the car on its wheels, so that the front end is in its normal position when you tighten everything.

After the first few drives, check that all bolts of the BMW 335i strut brace are still tight, because new coating can still settle slightly. If you want to tackle the suspension further, take a look at all strut braces in our shop. If you drive an E9x without an N54, choose our strut brace for the E90 to E93 and E87.

More power from your N54 deserves a front end that responds just as sharply.

Why choose this BMW 335i strut brace?

There is a separate version for the E9x with N54B30, and that is exactly this BMW 335i strut brace. So you do not have to guess whether a brace for another engine variant will fit. This version is made specifically for the N54B30, leaves the factory reinforcements intact and uses a sturdy 3 mm steel profile. You get a tighter steering feel and a neat black finish under the bonnet.
