If the vehicle hits a
pothole, distortion to the front shock towers can occur. The problem may be attributed to the run-flat tires. BMW has
released a performance package upgrade for the front suspension, which
includes a steel strut brace, steel strut mounts, and steel
reinforcement plates for the top of the strut towers. This will help
prevent damage to the frame.
