best strut tower brace

[MCBeemer]

I am planning to slightly enhance the handling of my ZHP by adding a front strut tower brace and had three questions:

-what is the best one for money? I saw an AC Schnitzer for $600 and the OEM BMW M3 brace for only $300. Is there any reason to spend double on the AC Schnitzer?

-will braces made for the E46 coupe (like the OEM M3 brace) fit my E46 sedan?

Thanks

Thanks for the info! I'll go with the M3 brace.

why do they sell it in pieces?Because it is spare parts for the M3s that come with it, not an accessory kit. It just happens to fit non-M3 cars as well.
