Has anyone tried their products.
This is the front rear bar and it looks a lot better than the stock.

Some on here have reported poor fitting issues. I've not used them on BMW, but have a four brace set-up on another car (upper and lower front and rear) without issues, other than corrosion.

They're made in Malaysia where salt on winter roads is unknown and they're not really up to the vagaries of a northern European winter - without additional painting or other treatment...

Where I live it rains like 10 times a year, so corrosion is no problem.

I've seen this for sale on eBay along with some other suspension items they offer. I haven't seen anyone review them, so I would proceed knowing very few have actually have tried them. I can echo the rust issue as I have seen pics showing rust after minimal use.

FWIW, I'd recommend not buying off ebay but from an authorized distributor. I haven't had any problems with fitment or quality although it can take some time to get the parts. Can't speak to corrosion but not really a concern here in Dallas, ymmv of course.

Por-15 prior installation and all set. Not any reviews of these on BMW forum because, and no offense guys, but most BMW owners are pompous and they won't buy it let alone post review. Review are on JMD budget builds forums. For the money is actually good product and we can not expect OEM fitment from any hand made aftermarket part regardless of origin. Also, is not like BMW makes top quility products either

Definitely true. The parts seem to be well made and the ones I had installed went on without issue. The race team uses them on three cars, all without fitment or quality issues. Whether they really need to given the presence of cages in all the cars is open to question of course but I thought it interesting they've had no issues. And they picked up all the parts on ebay, too. Go figure...

These are kind of interesting.... Might get one or two of the braces and try them out.
