Unless the bar is funny and needs the bump in the M hood

I emailed RE this morning and Ben responded that they have not tried it on anything except the Z4M.

Can any guru confirm that the chasis is identical? or can someone near RE go and get it test fitted on a non-m Z4?

The chassis is identicle.
The only difference under the hood is the engine

pyo · 04-26-2012, 07:28 AM

The strong strut firewall braces are notched like the oem firewall braces in order to collapse during a front end collision therefore stopping them from punching through the firewall. The Rouge brace doesn't replace the oem fire wall braces therefore they will function as designed.

So who's all ordered?

LOL! After I wrote that I thought it didn't sound right.

You were at meadowlands? I was over at the autox and then took a short trip over to the car show but didn't stay to long.

Stopped by auto-x at the very end during TnT to meet up with a fellow member here. Needed a 2nd opinion on my new suspension. I skipped Wankfest lol.

Man I don't know how I missed you because I had to come back to get my car from the autox parking lot. I guess only a couple hours sleep can make the brain not function.

Wankfest was just as described... At least I got to see a nice parkIng lot accident while I was marshaling. I feel bad for the guy but that's what happens when you do a burnout in a crowded parking lot and let off the brake.

I will be at the PCA autox this Sunday if your around.

The order went in last week and Mason said it would take about 3 weeks to make them and ship them to Rogue.

pyo · 05-24-2012, 11:50 AM

Moving quicker than I thought. David @ RE was more than helpful to get my shipping address changed.

I'm itching to get this installed =D already bought a torque wrench so I can DIY

zubydafa · 05-24-2012, 01:58 PM
