There is a lot of snout on the E89. It's funny - the past twenty years, torsionally rigidity has increased significantly in BMW chassis. There are those that claim such stress bars are no longer needed. I don't buy it - my E39 has two dimples in the hood from its stress bar tapping the hood from the bottom (through the sound deadening) under spirited driving.
I ordered the Luxon and am waiting on it. I was not a fan of the bars with threads and such. Hopefully this sucker is stiff and will help put a triangle over the front end. To digress I've found it amusing how these cars are so limited in parts availability - I guess it's no E90 at scale. I've tried to order 4 lip spoilers and I've now determined that they are all coming from one mold, because all four retailers have told me a similar story (mold broke, having to be remade, had fitment issues, etc).
Thanks for the tip on this stress bar. Looking forward to getting mine.
