I believe the Supra, Z4 and 3 series all have the same dimensions for strut braces? Or am I wrong?

And yes. The B9 A4 has OEM strut braces that look exactly the same as the ones on the Z4. I drove my A4 with and without the OEM brace. I could hardly tell a difference (I'm assuming whatever difference I felt was a placebo effect). But with OEM and aftermarket braces, the difference was very noticeable (aftermarket was a 3 piece brace though compared to the 2 piece flimsy OEM ones).
Has anyone confirmed if a strut brace manufactured for the Supra is considered a direct bolt on option for the M340i?
