Will be at VIR next weekend and let you know my findings.

I believe that the 1M bar is 26.5 mm. It's solid and the diameter is constant from one end to the other. IIRC, it is shared with the E90 and E92 M3.

The E93 M3 bar is listed as 28 mm, but it is hollow and the diameter narrows a bit in the middle.

Hmm... I wonder which way is better?

I've been told that the E93 M3 bar is the stiffest stock bar available.

EDIT: This is from Turner Motorsport's website (with emphasis added) -- "The stock E93 M3 front 28mm swaybar can be used on all of the other E90/E92 and E82 cars as an upgrade to reduce bodyroll, improve handling, and get quicker turn-in. This is a direct upgrade when used with the bar, bushings, and hardware.

Stock Sway Bar Size = 26.5mm
E93 M3 Sway Bar Size = 28mm
But the result is more than just the 1.5mm difference in diameter. The E93 M3 rollbar is hollow tubular which actually increases its stiffness even more."

Good to know. I am going to start pricing a bar and i need to follow-up with bob tunnel on the shocks/struts.
