I recently picked up my X3M and realized like many I have an aluminum strut brace. I'm sure this has been disgusted but just want to see anyways.

Everyone has the aluminum strut tower brace unless they have the $4k carbon package(probably not many) or bought the carbon one separately (about $1200). I'm not the type to drop more than 200 on a strut tower bar so I'll probably just get some carbon vinyl and wrap mine.

I bought an in-stock X3M last week which I pickup next Friday.

When the contract was sent to me it included the carbon strut brace already.

Mine's a 2019 (2020 to you). It's a $1000 AUD option here i'm told - non-standard.

Why I ask is because when reading a description on INDs website it states cars built on 11/19 later come with the carbon strut and I've found for $1138.

Not sure where they got this but here's a link to the bmw page for the 2021 model. Shows the aluminum strut tower bar: https://www.bmwusa.com/vehicles/m-mo...3-m-gallery/14
