As for the limited production...guys, this is what happens when there is no support for the vendor. John has worked quite hard to get this made for you and has spent a ton of money on sending me a few versions...give back to him by buying them! They are great! Honestly one of the best things I've done to the car because it's stronger/sturdier than the plastic tray, and much more efficient (time wise) for oil changes. As a bonus, it looks great.
I remember that at least a dozen M guys declared that they would buy this when it was made available. I even made a list....
I'm not sure how many followed through with the purchase...a few balked at the price, but it is quite reasonable for what you are getting. Excellent quality and looks so much better.
The M45 version isn't as convenient as the M35x one - can't get to the oil filter without taking the back shield off, but still better than the whole thing!!!
Plus, way sturdier than the OEM plastic sh*t piece
