Sorry for slight off topic, but why the removal of the knee protection?
While I was in Europe, just a year ago, I had an e36 4 door 323i. It did not have knee protection, as the euro models e36 didn't. On the driver's side the foam block and the bar are not there. An Austrian decided to go on a short passup in my lane oncoming, and smashed into me at over 90 km\h, me doing about the same. Shattered my knee (among damages), which thankfully recovered after one year. I can't imagine going through anything remotely close to that again.
(Received my reinforcement bars, BTW. Can't thank you enough. Let me know if I can be of any help)

$15 sent. Let me know if that gets it all the way to Canada. Guessed at total, so let me know if I am short. Thanks for doing this!
My take on it is those things are not knee protection. As a matter of fact, they are the opposite. The idea is to keep an unbelted occupant from sliding into the footwell and being decapitated by the exploding airbag. Well, maybe not decapitated... but the idea is to keep the torso centered on the bag at the expense of the knees.
Edit:
I am by no means a safety engineer, and do not condone disabling or removing safety devices. But these anti-submarine bolsters are gone from both my cars.

Hey ppl, I have been thinking of getting the remainder of these done everyday no doubt. I worked 76 hours last week and only made about 4 with the quick mins I've had here and there. It's been tough finding some availability to do these during noise making hours (detached garage is planned for 2114). so anyway, I have a solid 4 hrs before work tomorrow and I'll be able to work on some then. After that my next half day off will be Sun. Hang in there with me guys and I'll get you set up! Also it's a 99.9% chance I received your payment

No prob. for me, no rush at all. thanks for update!
Remedial,
Thanks for the update. Sorry to hear you're so busy. I'm with the others. No rush, just good to hear how things are going.
Take care,
Eric
Just saw this last night, only bought my Z3 on Tuesday. No signs of this problem yet, but I might as well get it now while I can. Sent $10 for one.
Thanks!
Aluminum bar stock (I presume?) ain't cheap. Sent $10 with name and address in note.
My glove box just fell out so this is perfect timing!
Thanks,
