I'm sure some of the BMW chassis would benefit from adding a bar; just wondering if the Z4 coupe (already twice as torsionally stiff as the convertible) gains anything. Is a bar for that car benefit or just bling?

Based upon the article, if you're tracking the car, lots of track miles, then maybe some benefit.

Hey guys, just some food for thought on why some of us are running these despite the already stiff chassis:
Mainly strut tower reinforcement. When pushing these cars to the limit & running stiffer spring rates, or strut towers are more susceptible to damage/cracking. The strut tower braces are a nice way to reinforce from the top without taking up space underneath.
