    WTB: 6 strut tower collar nuts for mounting M3 strut bar

    My front strut mount bolts are not long enough to mount my reinforcement plate + M3 OEM strut bar brace. So I need to purchase 6 of the special collared nuts that BMW sells with that strut bar kit (I got the kit used - no nuts). It's BMW part # 51717895241. Anyone got any they're not using?

    I don't have any to sell but that's useful info. I'm idly looking for an OEM strut bar and have the reinforcement plates, so I'll have to add these to my list.

    Why not just get them from the dealer?

    Because they want 15 bucks apiece. ECS sells them for around $10 each. I was hoping someone would be willing to sell them for closer to five a piece.

    These are funky nuts, almost like threaded sleeves with a hex head. They're countersunk into the strut bar mounting plate.

    Shop Advance Auto Parts
    Just buy 8mm flange nuts with some metal bushings. Total cost would be under $15. Problem solved.
