It's not physically possible.

Edit: Oh, I see, moved further back. Why not? It's not a factory install that way, but if it fits, sure.

I don't really see a lot of point, mind you. Another bar a few inches back isn't going to do a lot.

I agree but figured if BMW did it then I would too.

Did you get the X-brace? My 99 vert manual trans had it but then again all of the E36 M3 verts did. I also had a strong strut tower bar installed that really helped!! I bought it from JST when he sold his.

That was quick, hope you got a price you're happy with.

The ad says one owner, that's a mistake isn't it?
