Even if you have not experienced an OEM transmission brace failing on you yet, you will definitely want to consider upgrading the brace. Through years of building and racing home-brewed BMWs, we've learned from experience that prevention is better than any cure.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBushing:\u003c\/strong\u003e M10-sized transmission mount holes to allow for E21 transmission bushings (OEM + upgrade for those not wanting to run polyurethane or solid transmission bushings)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thick 11 gauge steel construction is significantly stronger than the OEM aluminum and has incorporated bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Garagistic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48642713813235,"sku":"K0790","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/9219\/4035\/files\/K0790E36-5-Speed-Heavy-Duty-Transmission-Brace-328-M3-Z3M-23701136498-Motor-and-Transmission-Mounts-Garagistic-bmw-e30-e36-e46-e92-grip-race-drift.png?v=1773582806","url":"https:\/\/strommotorsports.com\/products\/e36-5-speed-heavy-duty-transmission-brace-328-m3-z3m-23701136498","provider":"Strom Motorsports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
