Grab your flame suit and search e46f? Probably more people trying cheaper alternatives there than here.

Is there really a difference between the BMW strut tower brace and the OEM M3 strut tower brace?

Here's the response I got back from ECS:
"Other than the color, it looks like one comes with polished cap nuts and one doesn't. The more expensive kit also looks like it includes more hardware."
I ended up purchasing the silver strut tower brace and plan to paint it black.

The only real difference I spot is that the OEM M3 kit looks to have the strut tower reinforcement plates which should cost about $20 on their own. Let us know what you think once you have it installed.
