After reading several forum posts which make reference to the damage that can result in the front tower strut towers (mushrooming), I looked into maybe purchasing the E46 Strut Tower Reinforcement Plates (Pair) Part #: 51717036781 (51-71-7-036-781). HOWEVER, when I enter this P/N in realoem.com, this part ONLY shows up for SEDANS & TOURING models. I then ran my VIN# to search for this part only to find it NOT called out for my convertible. Is this issue ONLY for the 'other' models & NOT the 2 doors?
fracture of rear axle support fix
Has any one done the "cavity foam/structuring foam" fix per BMW TIS? Where did you buy the foam? Is there a "better or alternate" foam other than the BMW P/N's 83429410694 & 83420307530?
