I've always been in the market for a replacement front strut bar but really couldn't find what I was looking for. The BMW Performance bar is hard to source, very expensive, and I have witnessed it breaking first hand. The Dixis bar is also hard to source and very expensive. So ultimately I was going to go with the Mason/Rogue Engineering bar. Good looking bar, functional, and good price. Until I came across DMG Autosport.

DMG had a bar that looked alike however was quite different. Full disclosure I paid for my bar so I am not going to get into the technical specs. I asked Brandon of DMG Autosport about his back ground which involved fabricating and building trophy/prerunner and Dakar trucks that compete in the premier classes desert and off road racing. He explained how his back ground in off road racing lent him a strong gauge on structural integrity and function for safety and performance. I also asked how the bar differed from the competition and from the response I received along with what I could see, I decided to give this non M3F approved part a shot. You can get the bar painted in a color of your choice or they offer it in a raw, cleared, polished like finish with the welds exposed which reminds me of the Dixis bar. Lastly the price is very reasonable for the quality of the bar.

Pictures do not do this piece any justice. In person it looks much better. Hard to explain but it is like a black/shadow chrome finish that looks wet. I am very impressed by the welds. Install was simple and straight forward. So far test driving has not shown any issues. The communication between DMG was great and these are made in America. I'm a sucker for anytime a company decides to make new quality products for our cars.

Below are some pictures uninstalled and installed. DMG also offers RACP solutions and a under carriage belly pan brace for the E46. When I am ready I will reach out to see what my options are and more info. I am very happy with my purchase and love how the bar looks and performs so far. My overall experience with DMG has been great and I recommend them. You can find them on Instagram.
