Got my Ultra Racing Bars

[pinguhk]

My Ultra Racing Bars x4 for my F06 have arrived.
I will DIY the lower bars to paint them gloss black and keep the top one in white with M logo.
I will post more photos on the install and let you guys know how it feels in a weeks time.

Update on installed the top bar.
The ride on corner is much better.
The response of the steering is much more direct and feel less electronic.
There is less front body roll on the front now.
Will install the other 3 bars next week when I has some more time.

I have painted the lower 3 bar to black gloss to match the OEM ones

Nice, I saw these on eBay but didn't know how good they truly are.

Keep us posted on how the lower bars perform as well.

Was the improvement worth the price in your opinion?

I dont know how much they sell in US but HK price is worth 100%

I also got a set of 7 bars for my old F10 528i which I sold the car to my friend.
I think the 525, 520 and 528 are the same engine bay but the 535 has a bigger engine so the top bar might not fit. Also the lower bar may not fit too because 535 have 2 side exhaust and the 525, 520 and 528 only have 1 side exhaust.

I have installed the lower 3 bars but I have not fully tested the handling yet.
I will give a feed back when I have tested it.

[lsturbointeg]

how does it feel? let us know!

I figured both cars have the same chasis? But the exhaust maybe in the way like you said

Are you going in race days? It's good when you have 2 doors coupe with just 2 carbon seats I think you don't feel anything!

I am very sensitive on every mods done to the handling on the car.
After just installing the front top cross bar that had a big different.
After installing the rear 3 bars, driving back home at normal speed. I can feel the car is like on rails so much more solid but there is a down side for these 3 bars which I can accept and that is the car will feel a little bit bumpy on ruff roads. There is little to non forgive on the rear axle so most of the force will travel to the wheels and arm rear axle. Now I can feel every stone on the road unlike before which was a smoother ride.
For me I can not live with out these bars.

I will give a full feedback when I do a fully test on the bars.

If for track days I will not install these at all, I would take it to a weld shop and spot weld the chassis but this cost a lot more.

yeah, pretty much your suspension is so tight that you will now feel everything on the road now lol! samething on my other car when i went full suspension...kinda sucks to use as a daily but you get use to it

I did a SMD Sunday Morning Drive and fully tested the power of the 4 Ultra Racing Bars.
The car handle so much solid on corning and fast less body roll, it feels like it is on rails, the rear axle is a lot stronger and solid. As for the mid part the car feel very stiff.
The hold car feels much more like a sports car now.

if you love driving on twisty roads and like a better handing car these bars is a must have.

cost way too much in Hong Kong over $6500usd for this option. my bars only cost $500usd
