Couldn't load pickup availability
These are the old version of our E85/E86 Z4 firewall braces. They are slightly different cosmetically from what we sell now. They are slightly more ornate, more similar to the original design of this from nearly 20 years ago, and do not include any branding. These were manufactured in 2021. Some of them have some light bubbling of the powdercoat in the flutes that run along the edges, which can be seen in the attached pictures. This is not noticeable from a few feet away. Additionally, they all bear a small raw area in one end of the bolt hole from the powdercoat hanger. This is not visible at all once installed.
These are a screaming deal at $100 for the set. When they are gone, they're gone.
ORIGINAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION COPIED BELOW
Our Z4 Firewall Braces offer a combination of form and function. All Z4s came from the factory with hollow tube steel firewall braces that connect from the center of the firewall to the corners of the shock towers. These tubes are generally pretty sturdy but the mounting points leave a lot to be desired. BMW just flattened out the steel tubes and drilled a hole through, making the attachment points the weak link.
Our models are made of solid billet aluminum to match our strut tower cross brace and have a thicker design for the mounting area while still utilizing factory hardware. In addition to being a structural upgrade, they are also designed to visually complete the look of your engine bay when combined with our Z4 strut tower brace.
This product is CNC machined out of 6061-T6 grade aluminum.
Finish
All our strut brace products are finished in Prismatic Powders Desert Night powder coat, which is a "wrinkle black" finish.
Fitment / Compatibility
These pieces fit all E85 Z4 roadsters and all E86 Z4 coupes, including M models.
What's Included
Firewall Brace (2)
Installation Instructions
It will likely take you longer to find your socket wrench than to install these. Simply remove the 4 nuts holding your factory braces, remove the braces and replace with our Strong Strut models, and replace the nuts. Torque to 30 foot pounds.
