Who makes the best Strut Tower/Brace for the R55

Hi,

Been reading tones. Stil can't make up my mind. M7, VIP, NM..... which one is best for the 2011 Clubman S? Some say the M7 Rubs on the hood??? Some say it doesn't. Please enlighten me with what the real deal is.
Thank you

I don't have one yet, but I will be going with the NM. WMW had them at MITM but I already had too many things installed, I couldn't justify it.

Comes in Red, Blue, or Black. Has the strut tower brackets and all that. I looked at both the M7 and the NM side by side, and the NM is certainly the better looking, designed bar.

Just my $.02

I like the NM strut brace, and you know red makes it faster.
