BMW Performance front sway bar

Thanks to Ianf2002 i picked up his BMW P FSB.
Did the install this afternoon and it's made a noticeable improvement. Turn in is sharper and the front feels much better planted.
I think the change is probably more noticeable on a vert, anything to tune out some of that flakey handling.

Thanks for the bar Ian. For a minute I thought you sent me the stock bar, they look so similar!

Piece of cake to install, even with the extra bracing the vert has, which needs to be loosened up to get the bar off. DIY section has all the details, I didn't take the wheels off, just used ramps to raise the car.

I thought I was done with mods but I know I'm not. This forum is addictive. AR DP's probably next, then maybe rear exhaust and FMIC. A set of track wheels can't be far which'll mean new pads and rotors! Does it ever stop.

With just DPs installed is it much louder? Leaving rest of the exhaust stock that is.

I know exactly what you mean!!

I just put on the M3 E93 Sway Bar and when I looked at it beside the stock bar I was extremely doubtful that it was going to make much difference...

Boy was I wrong!

I feels like a completely different car...
