This might look better than the BMW Performance brace, but I'm thinking that the the BMW brace may be a bit better on the performance side.
I agree, that's why eventually I will be purchasing a solid, not "hinged" brace, like the dinan or oem bmw (cf is like $900, non cf is low $200 on ebay, ive seen a few from dealers).
