:?: On another note can someone give me a measurement on how far the pan hangs on an M50/52/what have you and I'll see if there is a workaround so it will clear? (the only one I have access to is a dry sump)

Looks like 4130 chrome-molly, but I have no idea what the thickness would be (not to mention that shit is pretty expensive!) If I were making it, I would use 0.75"x.047", but again it's just speculation.

Originally posted by rs4pro3 View PostUm no cutting is needed, 2 out of the 6 holes are already on the car. Install two nutserts, bolt it up. mark the 4 new holes needed and drill. Here is said x-brace installed on my 85 325e
In researching this project we asked questions first like: why not mount it this way, why or why not drill holes in the sub-frame, where is the optimal angle to come in from to stop this motion or that destructive vibration...
In Development we test our answers to these questions, identify problems and apply necessary refinements.
What you see in the images we have posted is the prototype that finally addressed all the issues from the R&D process it gave us all the answers to build the finished product with all the desired properties from an engineering and practical application standpoint.
Specifically for the e30 chassis.
