F10 Competition M5 front sway bar fit on 2011 550 IX ?

Looking to reduce my body roll in my 550 iX and know you can upgrade the front sway bar with the M5 bar but is the M5 competition bar any different? Anyone done this and is it better than the regular M5 bar?
Thanks

Just realize it says for cars with out Dynamic Dampening and my car has that. So does this go for the normal M5 bar as well it will not work with active suspension/Dynamic Dampening?

check under your car at the back. if you see a big box with a bunch of hoses coming out in the middle and what looks like sway bars connecting to your arms then nope!
You have the active sways (which i love!)

Well u defiantly have the adaptive suspension and dynamic dampening but I'd sure love less bottom roll even in sport+.
