the AV-3
This simple 3 point brace is a direct OE replacement for the lower rear 3 point chassis brace made from rectangular steel mostly. This simply serves as an alternative tube structure brace that does boast more strength in terms of defending the bottom of your e46 M3 chassis, and fuel tank, also adding a more firm position holder for that point of the front differential subframe wher the center of this brace is fastened.
This brace comes as a very dependable three piece structure. However, regardless of what it does or is made of, if you have an off or smack it hard enough, same as Oe, you could incur damage.
with this model you can replace just the damaged part of singular, and we can also do different diameters and thicknesses based on your needs or circumstances. These joints open up a lot of possibilities for customization, ease of replacement and install, while also lending itself to an affordable shipping situation as well, for the original and replacement parts of ever necessary. Some personal preferences may already be selectable in the parts choice variants menu. If you’ve got any questions or would like to go over something yould like but don’t see, simply reach out and let me know.
it comes coated with a stainless steel pigmented aerosol that is a proven durable coat, but more importantly for a bottom placed brace, it’s much simpler and beautifully touched up in a likely and common even that it is scraped. This paint will lift an existing coat and blend right in to cover any open areas left from a scrape, returning it to safety from the elements.
It is possible in the variants or as a lone product that I’ll offer this paint for purchase with and or separate from the brace if you’re unable to otherwise locate it and would like to have some in the likely even you wind up needing it.
Of course, powder coat is more durable, but is also impossible to touch up. That is ultimately why I decided to coat lower braces with this coating, however, I will still offer you the choice of having it powder coated.
thank you, and enjoy!
