As you probably already know there's a range of differences between RWD and XDrive (generally speaking) and therefore a range of solutions specifically available for the XDrive. I imagine there would also be a solution for XDrive sway bars then. Have you contacted local H&R Distributor (listed on H&R's website http://www.hrsprings.com/) and let them advise you once they contact the Manufacturer?

I haven't contacted them yet.
But I know that Xdrive guys have M5 sways in the front. So that means that the front sway bar have no difference between AWD and RWD.
The question is about the rear one.

Both RWD and xDrive F10s uses the same M5/M550d sways so by that logic there's no different.
The M5 bars comes from the RWD M5 and the M550d comes from the xDrive only M550d.

So you think for example 535ix bars fit 535i with no issues?

I don't see why not since the rear bar from the M550d xDrive fits on my RWD 520d.
