We're all affected by the same biases, would be reasonable to believe the most reliable opinions would have been the BMW test/development drivers. It's just not believable that BMW made a commercial decision to put this expensive bit of CF under the bonnet just for looks.
Don't know what to make of the comment that some who track at the Ring get more stability with the CF brace removed, they might have other issues with their setup. If you listen to Gordon Murray (best in the business) you can't have too stiff a chassis/suspension mount points.
