I don't know if the local parts stockist stock them, but z3 has the reinforcement plates from the factory. If you do some digging you might be able to find the part number and bring it to a BMW stockist. Then you can just use the stock rear shock mounts along with the z3 reinforcement plates.

called in AB and got a quote for approx rm20 each. so per set should be below rm50.
