With the addition of aftermarket springs\/suspension comes more stress to the factory front strut towers which causes deformation and eventually makes the strut mount crack and mushroom open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this reason, BMW offered an upper strut mount reinforcement plate from the factory as \"the poor road package\" (part number 51717036781) when it came to the E46 chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate adds another layer of 11 gauge metal to reinforce the strut mounting point on the chassis. This is mandatory if you have an aftermarket performance suspension setup on your E8x\/E9x. Stiff suspension + strut bar can lead to cracked strut tower housings on the E8x\/E9x. These reinforcement plates can help you prevent expensive damage. Blown shocks and stiff suspensions will cause the sheet metal to pop up due to more energy being transferred. Highly recommended upgrade to drastically reduce \"mushrooming\" and other strut tower deformation. Installation is simple. These just fit from under your strut mount and are installed between the top hat\/camber plate and the strut tower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 Gauge Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e Comes in a pair (2 units), or enough to do 1 car.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e All E82, E90, E91, E92, and E93 Models\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1 Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1999-2006 128i, 135i, 135is, 1M (11-12)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e 323i, \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e325i,\u003c\/span\u003e 325xi, 328i, 328xi, 330i, 330xi, 335d, 335i, 335is, 335xi - sedan, coupe, convertible, wagon.
