OEM strut tower brace no longer being made?

I recently put in an order through Tischer for the OEM strut tower brace (trying to keep my coupe as OEM as possible). A couple days later I get an email from them saying the product is no longer being made so they were cancelling my order. So does this mean the strut brace is no longer being made? Several of my google searches have come up empty. Anyone comment on this? If so I guess the only way to get one is second hand. Wonder how this effects any of the other OEM accessories.

This often happens with optional equipment as cars get older.

I believe Byron was reporting the same thing over his side of the pond.

I can see the second hand prices already rising. I'll probably just go with a Strong Strut

I tried to order one a couple weeks ago and got the same result, I suspect we just missed the boat on these things. Oh well, always aftermarket. Shame the Strong strut ones are so expensive (and IMO... kinda ugly)

Found the OEM brace on Bavauto.com. $348 shipped. Higher price than Tischer but I went ahead and purchased one. Let's see if they actually have one in stock or if they it will end up cancelling my order like Tischer once they figure out that BMW doesn't make it anymore.

Nope, they also initially showed it was available. I bought it, than got a note a few days later saying it was no longer available. I think production has now ceased.
