Made for the 2001-2006 BMW 330xi 3 Series (E46), the Whiteline Front Strut Tower Brace stiffens the front of the chassis. The newest 330xi 3 Series covered here is 20 years old, and over that time bushings soften and the body leans more, which a stiffer part helps clear up.
Chassis stiffness is easy to underrate. A brace across the strut towers connects two points that would otherwise move on their own, which keeps the front suspension working as designed and gives the steering a more consistent, communicative feel.
This listing covers 6 model years, 2001 through 2006, of the BMW 330xi 3 Series on the E46 chassis. You receive 1 strut brace. Installation is rated moderate, with about half an hour of work listed. No alignment is needed afterward. Application note: Exclude models with traction control. Other Whiteline parts we list for the 330xi 3 Series: Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Rear Sway Bar Link, and Rear Subframe Mount Bushing (Inserts only).
