BMW CF Strut Bar on eBay for $588 shipped. Doesn't come with mounting hardware, few scuffs and scratches. The seller doesn't know what he is selling. The listing isn't for a E46. I contacted him regarding this and he said it does fit (because of the E46 on the strut bar tag) and the photos are of the actual bar. But when I requested that he send more photos he said there wasn't enough time to get them to me before the auction ended. There was 9 hours left at that point so I back away from this deal. He relisted it for a slightly lower price.

Here is my contact with the Seller:
Dear bmwe30part,
I'm interested in the strut brace but concerned it may not be the one you are listing for sale. The brace in the photos shows one that fits the BMW E46 330 (51710429378). The listing is for the 51710429377 that fits E82 E90 E91 E92 etc. Can you please verify that the one for sale is actually the same one in the photos. Here is a link for the one in the photos.

Dear wolfn8tr,
I took these pictures with the part number

Dear bmwe30part,
Ok so is the strut bar in the pictures the ACTUAL bar you have for sale then? Because the bar in the photos is for a BMW E46 330 which is what I'm looking for NOT a bar for a E82 E90 E91 E92 etc. Please verify as $600 is a lot of money to pay and receive the wrong one.

Dear wolfn8tr,
Yes the pictures are mine and yes it also says e46 next to the part # in the picture did you see it

Dear bmwe30part,
Ok great. Yes I noticed that along with the photos showing a bar that is for the E46. Confused why the listing doesn't reflect that is all.
Kind of hard to see in the photos but is there any scratches? Do you have the mounting hardware, nuts and caps?
Could you send some more photos please to WOLFN8TR@gmail.com

Dear wolfn8tr,
Small blemishes and small scratches see pictures has not been mounted on car ..... scratches are from a display case it was on ... I don't have time to get more pictures before the auction ends ... no hardware just whats pictured

Dear bmwe30part,
Ok. I'm definitely interested. Beings there is no hardware and it does have some scratches/blemishes would you be willing to lower the price a bit? Would you take $500 shipped? Let me know.
