Stock bar is 12mm, the 22.5mm M3 rear bar seems like overkill, I may try an E93 15mm rear bar instead. I feel the twichiness of the 1M may be due to the fact it is using the 22.5mm rear bar which might be a bit too stiff.
Hey mate, was reading up on this and checked realoem.com for part numbers for the E93 rear sway bar. But on there it suggests the E93 M3 rear bar is actually 23.6mm?

E93 rear sway bar

E92 rear sway bar

It also suggests that the 135i stock rear ARB is 12mm (as you said) but the E87 stock bar is 13mm?

But it does list both of them on each "Found on following vehicles" list so might have to get under the car and have a look what is on mine...
