        X-brace bolts to the subframe and frame rails, not to the engine, so there's no change in NVH. This part is mandatory on all verts IMO.

                      Lol too funny ^^

                      Your vert doesn't occasionally squeak during typical road travel?

                          What happens when you go over train tracks or a bad road ?

                            Just normal, over the bump stuff like in my 318is. I didn't notice anything different... Then again I don't drive it that much, let me confirm again after the vert comes out of the shop!

                                Springs and shocks, wheels and tires! No braces or anything.
