That was what I thought. Took me 30 minutes to do all of them

Just installed my OEM M3 strut brace (my fancy nuts finally arrived). Took the car for a drive and aggressively threw it into some turns - front end definitely feels tighter, you can feel the suspension is working better due to the reduction in flex in the front end. I didn't realize I would feel so much of a difference!

Note to anyone doing this - the M3 bar DOES require six of those fancy flanged nuts, and based on the way the fit tightly into the bar I would recommend that you only use the flanged nuts rather than cheap out and reuse the regular strut top nuts. You NEED these for the added thread, and they do position the mounts properly on the strut top - the cutout in the centre does NOTHING to position the mount.

I bought the fancy nuts from thebmwminipartstore.com on Johal E32's recommendation (thanks again!) - they shipped fast and with a very reasonable shipping price to Canada. I will definitely use them again.

Dude, I'm in Canada. My dealership wanted my nuts in exchange for their nuts. I needed six of theirs, and only had two to give... so I needed to order from the US.

Drove Colin's car to/from the train station today. Felt good to get behind the wheel. Tranny is definitely shifting better with new fluid. No noticeably knotch going to 2 or 3. And I Filled it up for him.

Drove the Mini today. I went out for lunch, so I took the highway and did 75 mph easily.
