Dinan Front Upper Tower Bar for BMW E46 3 Series

Transform the way your E46 turns in and tracks through bends with this premium front upper tower bar from Dinan. By tying the tops of the front suspension turrets together, it curbs chassis flex under load for a more connected steering feel, improved stability on fast B-roads and added confidence on track. The combination of brushed aluminium and carbon fibre detailing looks superb in the engine bay, while CNC machined mounts deliver a precise bolt-on fit and long-term durability.

What you will feel

• More direct steering with crisper response and better mid-corner feedback
• Reduced flex at the shock towers for a tighter, more planted front end
• Consistency lap after lap and over years of driving as tower alignment is better maintained
• Premium finish that elevates the look of the bay without adding unnecessary weight
• Engineered for a secure, rattle-free installation using accurately machined brackets
• Works seamlessly with factory suspension or Dinan spring and damper upgrades
