The OEM front sway bar in the 135i M Sport is actually 26.5mm which is exactly the same thickness as the E90/E92 M3 front sway bar. However, the 135i front sway bar has a kink in it in the middle and the E90/E92 M3 front sway does not.

I chose the E93 M3 front sway bar which is 28mm but unlike the E90/E92 it has a kink in it. I don't think there is much between the 2 sway bars but I didn't think there would be as many gains replacing the sway bar with a sway bar of the same size, although it is heavier and stronger - even though it is still hollow.
