Description
Hardrace Engine Bay Brace for BMW 5-Series G30/G31 (2017-Present) – Sharper Steering, Stiffer Front End
Under hard cornering the strut towers flex, which blurs steering feel and lets the suspension geometry shift. This Hardrace engine bay brace ties them together, so the chassis stays stiff and the steering stays sharp and precise.
It bolts to existing mounting points with no cutting or drilling.
Extra bracing takes out chassis flex for a tighter, more precise drive while keeping the balance these cars are known for.
It suits the BMW 5-Series G30/G31 (2017-Present).

Do I need an alignment?
No. The brace does not change the suspension geometry.
Will it fit under the bonnet?
Yes, it is designed to fit under the standard bonnet on the listed models. Check clearance around any aftermarket intake or engine parts.
Will it make the ride harsher?
No. A brace stiffens the chassis, not the suspension, so the ride comfort is largely unchanged.
Can I fit it with other braces?
Yes. Combining front, middle and rear braces stiffens more of the chassis for an even tighter feel.
Will it fit my car?
It is listed for the models in the Fitment section. If your car has a different engine, drive layout or market spec, check with us before ordering.
Is it road legal?
Yes, it is a bolt-on part for road and track use. Tell your insurer about any modifications.
Is it covered by a warranty?
Yes, Hardrace parts are covered against defects in materials and workmanship.
Is it a genuine Hardrace part?
Yes, we are a UK Hardrace stockist and supply genuine Hardrace parts.
