Anyone have a lead on who has one installed?
I'm in the process of replacing my bilstein pss9s and I want to reinforce the strut towers so I need a close up of the strut tower mounts (and the rest of the brace as well). I called up turner but no one could help me get better pictures other than the one on their site, I want to see if it's worth saving the money or going with a strong strut instead.
Turner Front Strut Brace - E39 525/528/530/540/M5 - Turner Motorsport
kind regards
EDIT:
so using wiechers as a search word makes it easier to find examples of the same strut brace
now this was on an ?E30? which probably puts more stress on the strut bar than the E39, but I'm using it as a reference for how the turner part is likely designed:

these members have wiechers sport braces
[older design]

[similar to turner but different mounts]

EDIT 2:
member WLS was kind enough to send me photos of his Turner Motorsports strut brace, and it confirms what is on wiechers's website.
