your best (& cheapest/easiest) bet/option would be to buy some 4 - 5mm thick sheet steel (ebay) & make your own.
why pay someone £200++ for something you can make yourself for about £50??

if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

The genuine BMW ones fit with the S50 fitted. I bought one from the dealers years ago for mine (before the price went stupid) but I found a genuine one on eBay last year for £65.
There's a couple of aftermarket ones on eBay now for around the £100 mark.

you don't need to weld, i made mine out of 4mm plate steel, offered it up, marked where i needed to bend it, stood it against the wall & put my foot on where the mark was & put all my weight (15st) & bend it to shape,adil325i wrote:Can't weld

offered it up again to make sure & when i was happy with it cut three slots in the front edge (grinder
) to bolt it through the radiator support & two slots in the back to mount on the subframe using the steering rack bolts.nice & easy
