I can confirm that the E93 (or any other E90 rear bar) fits 100% with stock endlinks. Either they had it in upside-down, or didn't drop the subframe so they couldn't even get it into position. (Self installed)

The E84 X1 rear bar overall geometry is 100% the same as any other E series car.

Maybe check the part # on the bar to make sure it was correct?

Does it look like this:



Or...



Those are the E93 and E92 bars, respectively.

This is what they replace (the critical points are the same, despite looking a bit different):



Depending on how far you drop the subframe, it certainly is a bit of a PITA to remove/install, but it fits like a glove once in the right position.
