$1,000 new from BMW of Fairfax. There is a guy on eBay that has one like new for $900. He has a make offer. I would not be shy about offering what you are willing to pay since his price is about what it costs to order it new. At that price, doubt he has people banging down his doors. Good luck!

He only ships to USA by default. Go to USA ebay and type in the item number: 113725447430 ... you should get it then.

I don't know what it means to ship to you, et cetera, or how hard these things are to find. But if you need a friendly USA side person (e.g. he'll only ship to USA), PM me and I'll help you out if I can.

I'm guessing you are doing this for the looks, just as a thought for $900 you could likely have a custom made V brace and strut tower brace made that would be more functional than an m3 V brace and this CF strut bar, just a thought.

It is nice looking that is for sure.

Yeah just for looks, the problem with the m3 ones even on a stock car they don't fit properly.

The bars dont line up properly with the base, they sit slightly crooked.

All the 1m's ive looked at are exactly the same so I went back to 135 ones and want the performance one for looks and added strenght

I have this setup for now.

Do they sit slightly crooked on 335i's too or just 135s?

On mine theres actually nothing wrong with the 135i setup at all and it works and dont know why bmw went with the m3 setup as it doesn't fit properly, while it looks ok its not as good as having a 135 setup and a horizontal bar between the towers
