There are only two rear sway bar part numbers for F07/F11 without EDC (i.e. independent of engine):
33 55 6 788 860, d=16mm (for vehicles with base suspension)
33 55 6 790 184, d=18mm (for vehicles with M Sport suspension, 704)

If your car isn't equipped with M Sport suspension you can upgrade from 16 to 18 mm rear sway bar.
To clarify, There is a M5 suspension, and then a 550i/Xi MSPORT suspension. Which are you referring to?

Since there is no F11 M5 I'm referring to base vs M Sport suspension on F11.

My previous post is only valid for the rear air suspension, the front suspension is identical on F10 and F11.

Some info that should help you 535i guys. The 550i and 535i share the same standard suspension front sway bar according to realoem.com so that means if the M5 bar fits the 550i, it will also fit the 535i.

Now the biggest question is will it also fit xdrive cars.

Alan
will the m5 sway bar fit the 528i as well with non EDC?
