For Sale: Hartge Strut Brace

This bar was mounted on my M3 when I bought it but I have since opted to go with the Sparco bar as this bar hinders the access to the rearmost spark plug on the M3(not a problem for you 6 cylinder guys I wouldn't imagine since your plugs are on the side).

This bar is way lighter than my sparco bar and is very solid in construction. There are some scuffs on it from the hood insulation and such, so it's not in perfect shape. Notice the wear on the back where the bar was contacting my wiring harness cover(about 10 inches long). The pictures pretty clearly show everything.

From what I understand, it is somewhat of a rare piece, and comparing to other prices that I've seen for the same piece recently on the board, I think mine is priced accordingly for it's condition.


$225/obo + shipping from 92092

I'm not positive (someone who knows please advise) but I think this would not work on a 325 because the strut towers sit at different angles.

Ireland Engineering makes braces that fit both the 325 and the M3, so I don't think this is the case.

Turns out I sold my bar this morning.
