Feeler FS: 135i sway bar

Hi Folks,

I just replaced my car's front sway bar with an M3 bar. So, just curious to see if anyone is interested in a 135i front sway bar (w/bushings and brackets) that was used for 45k KM. This could be be a nice upgrade for a non-sport 128i, easy DIY.

Thanks...

Edit - anyone interested? PM me an offer.

Good luck with sale, should be a good upgrade for 128i. I was wondering what your thoughts were about the m3 sway? Does make a big difference? I'm considering a few power mods(Cobb+FMIC) and was wondering if the stock sway is good enough.

I installed the sway bar when all other upgrades (see my sig) were done already, so I didn't feel a big difference during dd. A bit better cornering, less front movement. But I expect to feel a bigger difference on track where you push the car more...

True, the only thing I did at the rear was to upgrade the subframe bushings. So far I didn't feel more understeer than before.
