My BMW is a 2012 535i with the sport package. It has the sport and sport+ with the 8 speed steptronic auto transmission that allows you to manually shift through each gear. It's the 3.0 6 cylinder with the twin turbo. Among other items included with the sports package, is the Dynamic Damper Control.

Well, I jacked up the rear end this morning to take a look at the rear sway bar. I was really surprised and a bit disappointed to see the diameter of the rear sway bar. It is very weak looking. It's about the diameter of my index finger. I am going to swap the front sway bar out for the M5. But, I'd really like to replace the rear too.

Joe, I'm eager to hear what you find out with the 550d option. In the meantime, I would like to hear anyone's thoughts/feedback/experience with the M5 sway bar on the front with the weaker stock rear sway bar left as is. Any issues?
