Its worth if if you are going from 14mm to 16mm. It depends what is currently on your car which you could tell easily if you got under it. There is a sticker right on the rear bar saying what size it is. you can probably even see it without jacking up the rear end.

My 535xi with DDC had a 15mm rear bar stock while my 550i without ddc came with 14mm. Each car is different depending on model and what options you have. Both of mine were Msport.

This is what I have on my 550i. Almost 6 months with the 550D rear bar and M5 front, car feels great.

So M5 now has the M performance package costing 7300 maybe the sway bars are even bigger ?
M5 the car should already be focused around offering the highest performance driving experience to begin with but at least BMW is responding to criticism of the F10 M5 and offering an option designed to improve it. $7300 buys you 15 more horsepower (575 total), a revised suspension with stiffer springs and rolls bars, and revised stability control, steering, and M differential.

For a stock car with the non-m sport suspension, would a spring change (such as the acs spring) or stiffer sway bar be a better upgrade for reducing body roll?

Hey guys
Why don't we look at H&R F&R sway bar set. According to H&R they are 30mm front and 20mm rear. But it says it fits only RWD models
So the question is, if the M5 front works with Xdrive models, will H&R for non xdrive work with xdrive??
I can't find it on US web page but found at H&R.de

M5 H&R front may work but the rear 1 will not so you are paying more for just the front, they will not sell just the front.

Interesting, I wonder how much stiffer they feel compared to the M5/M550d combo, since they're so much thicker.

If someone confirms they will fit awd or have some thoughts why they should not, I'm ready to order this kit

I'm still not sure if the RWD rear bar fits AWD. For example if the 535i rear bar fits 535ix?
