Here are 3 products. They have more though. A quick ebay search turns them up as well.

Ultra Racing BMW X5 E53 4.4 1999-2006 Front Strut Brace TW2-1701

Ultra Racing BMW X5 E53 4.4 1999-2006 Front Lower Brace LA4-1702

Ultra Racing BMW X5 E53 4.4 1999-2006 Rear Lower Brace RL2-1704

I purchased the Eibach Anti-Roll kit from Amazon.de (your regular Amazon username and password work on there as well). I purchased for 422Euro (just under $500) and it included free shipping to the US!

Installed and they are great, I also lowered the vehicle significantly with coilovers and had to find longer sway bar endlinks. There is a company in Australia named SuperPro (they have US distributors as well), and they were perfect, extremely heavy duty, and well made.

Please message me directly if you have any questions, Amazon raised the price significantly from when I last purchased, almost $120 more.

Changed the oil and filter after 2,500 miles and two years. Pulled off the old p/s reservoir and hoses and replaced them with new OE parts. Leaking at the reservoir and hose to the cooler. Idles nice with new oil!
Pulled a pound of leaves from the right brake duct. Mice getting ready for winter.
Winter is coming so time to prepare for the little bastards.
Racked up 1,000 miles in the last few days due to travel. Loved the drive.

I HATE mice, rats, etc. Have major issues with them.

When they are covered and parked I slide a few mice traps touched with Peanut Butter under the front and rear of the car. My top hits have been 7 of the little bastards in two days. After that, nothing until spring. First cold snap sends them looking for a winter home. Like last night....
I sending out my secret weapon later...

Degreased the underside of the engine looking to isolate an oil leak. I think I found it. Very small leaks at the power steering hose high pressure connectors. I'll give it a week or so to confirm. Hoping like hell it's not the pan gasket.

Cute dog but a bit small vs the rats I have

Mine weigh in at 10lbs plus. They killed a cat once.

This one was making a nest under my 323i at one time so I put dryer sheets and rat poison under the hood after cleaning out all the insulation they had ripped out of a storage building.

He came back moved the poison out of the way and built another nest.
