I think there should be more research done on why Rogue discontinued it in the first place - just my 2 cents.

Good point! I would be concerned, but it looks like Rogue is still manufacturing & selling their brace for the E46 M3 with the same design. If there were an inherent flaw, I'd imagine it would affect those, as well. If I had to guess, the reason they ceased production on the Z4M bars is that there are actually quite a few intricacies to considered to ensure a proper fit. Combine this with a low number of overall sales and mass production with varying tolerances and it's a recipe for a likely discontinued product.

Mason lists the steel bar @ 6.0 lbs & aluminum bar @ 3.5 lbs. If you're interested I can see if he would accept orders for the alum with same discount as well, so long as we have min 6 orders in total. The more I think about it, the more I'd be tempted to go aluminum because it's not a large weight different but it is a little more exclusive and, err, ultimate. Go big or go home I suppose
Here is a link to the product page - can't believe I didn't include this ->
