For Sale Rear upper strut brace for Z3 & Z3M roadster with reinforced top mounts

[Anthony Cherry]

******* POST EDITED TO SHOW THE NEW MODIFICATION AND PICTURES *******

I have designed and manufactured a rear upper strut bar for the Z3 and Z3M roadster.
Some of you may have been following its development in other threads. But I have had it fitted to my 3.0 for a while and noticed significant improvement in cornering feedback. And a reduction in the loose feeling often experience around tight bends.
Following some great feedback from customers so far i have made a few improvements.
These include tightening up the tolerances to make the bars bolt holes smaller.
More importantly i have added 3mm reinforced top mount plates to each end of the brace.
This hits two birds with one stone. (Thanks Brian H for the suggestion)
Reinforcing the top mounts is recommended on Zeds with modified suspension.

£109 delivered in the UK and +£20 delivered worldwide.
The roof operates as normal with no clearance issues. And you can fit it either under the carpet or above the carpet with a few cuts.
My PayPal is BertiniGT25@gmail.com so just transfer the cash and send me s message or add your address to the additional notes in PayPal. They are also on eBay.

Happiness is just around the corner







this is where / how it fits (older version of the brace)

Looks great, well done on getting it made and looking extremely professional

 

[Anthony Cherry]

Cheers mate. I'm not sure if it will fit the coupe though. Maybe when we are next at a meet together I can try it?

Sold the coupe in January, would have happily helped though.

Are you in a roadster now? I just fitted the brace to my Z3M and it went on a treat. So my suspicions are it will also fit the 4 cylinders without an issue.

No I'm in a diesel Peugeot 307! I try not to think about it too often!

Still break the odd Z3 have 2 in at the moment, but struggling to find time.

I miss my coupe!

If you ever have a Z3M in breaking can you let me know. I want to collect the parts to convert my Bertini M back into a Z3M and put that Bertini kit on another Z3. The prices of the Z3Ms have skyrocketed.

Why an ///M, a tidy wide body 2.8 would do for the body panels etc. would it not?

 

[Anthony Cherry]

Yep. The wings and bonnet would be fine from a 2.8. But I will need a boot, rear bumper, front bumper and an interior would be good.

 

[Ashbandicoot]

Plenty of 'sports' but not M interiors on eBay, most would need reupholstering though

Would be the first M disguised as a 2.8

 

[Anthony Cherry]

The ultimate in stealth.

 

[Ashbandicoot]

Wolf in sheepskin haha

 

[Anthony Cherry]

I posted your rear brace today Ash. It might arrive tomorrow? Or maybe Monday or Tursday.

 

[Anthony Cherry]

We have confirmed fit on the 3.0 and 3.2M. Confirmation of your 2.8 would be handy. But my guess is it will fit all models.

 

[Anthony Cherry]

I have just had the new sticker/badges delivered for the Z3 strut braces. These will go on the front and rear braces. The new twin bar front strut brace will be ready for sale at the end of next week.

@Anthony Cherry did you think Bertini Race- Brace? Everyone likes to have race car parts on their cars! JAT. JIM

 

[Anthony Cherry]

Yea. I thought of it Jim. But this looked better on the logo. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality

Either way, I hope you sell a lot of them as well as the whole kit. Good luck, this looks like a winner! JIM

I had my Bertini rear strut brace fitted and it does a splendid job tightening up the back end of the car. It is a quality product too. Looking forward to the launch of the other products for the Z3.
