Rear strut brace for f23 m240 convertible?

Does anyone know if a true Rear Strut Bar/Rear Strut Tower Brace exists for the F23 M240i Convertible?

I have a 2019 M240i CV and managed to find a Front Strut Bar from Racing Dynamics that fits with a little trimming of a plastic cover on the drivers side, but have not been able to find a Rear Strut Bar/Brace.... except a fake one from Taiwan.

Thanks

The rear suspension has no struts to brace or internal pick-up points that can be used near the suspension arm mounting points without drilling or welding on attachment tabs. Bracing between the top rear shock mounts won't do a lot for body stiffness of the suspension mount points, as they are quite a distance from those points, which are on the subframe that itself provides stiffness anyway. Stiffening the bushings for the subframe will more tightly control the rear suspension movement, at the expense of NVH.
