I will give a shot to the BMS, more expensive but they seem to have some.good reviews...
Not sure if BMS is better than OEM. The thing is, since our cars don't have strut brace to begin with, there might be a difference even with the oem brace.
With the A4, it came with braces from the factory. It looked exactly like the OEM BMW braces. The 034 braces I got were 3 pieces (left, right and a centre piece that connected the left and right together). I'm guessing the middle piece was the reason it was noticeably better than OEM? I contacted the local dealership but they couldn't help me out. There's another dealer that I'll reach out to. They're a bigger dealership and have Z4s in stock. I also noticed that the X3 has braces (at least, the X3e has it). Let me see if that has the same part number and if so, if I can get it since the dealer I contacted needed a VIN number of a Z4 and they don't have any Z4s in stock to pull a VIN.
