If you want less sway in your 5 series then I will say it again this mod is totally worth it.

Yes, the Eibachs are gone. Instead I have KW V3s with the stock bars, which is a huge improvement and still tolerable on crappy roads. Definitely worth the $$.
Good luck. |

Is it worth getting KW V3 for 5 series? Not really going to be competitive for tracking considering the vehicle weight and does it compromise ride quality for day-to-day driving?

You might be surprised how well an m-sport 5 can autocross! Will it be as good as a 3? Nope, but it would be fun!! |

RWD F10s have lots of options, include the lesser variants from coilover manufacturers. So - sure, KWv3s are a "waste" on an F10, but it's the only solution for X-Drive other than a springs-only approach if you want to sharpen up the chassis a bit. I wish KW released v1s for X-Drive, personally. |

I installed a set of H&R sway bars on my 530d SE about 6 months ago, so I figured I should chime in on this one. I've attached some pics that show the H&Rs vs the OEM set up. The OEM bars feel like a kids toy compared to the H&R bars. The OEMs flex quite a bit more, especially the rear one. The front H&R bar wasn't that much larger in diameter over OEM, but the delta of the rear bar diameter was significant.
As far as handling improvements, I don't have any empirical data other than a seat of the pants score. I definitely would not rave about the performnce increase like the OP did. I'd say that body roll on my car was reduced by about 15-20% more, so not a massive difference. However, the car already had M5 20" wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires installed, so I think someone with stock wheels and RF tires may see a more drastic improvement than I did. Installation was really straightforward and I didn't have to cut any plastic undercarriage panels or remove the muffler. The H&R bars cost me £342 from this shop on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/cartuningpoint I'd say this is a really simple mod that's worth the money, but don't expect massive handling gains from this. On the flip side, I've not noticed any negative effects from having the larger bars. The ride quality is the same. |

I’ve had the H&R sway bars on my 535i M-sport for a few years now and I agree with Bozman52 that it does not improve the body roll much. However, the ride does feel stiffer (running on non-runflat’s) and the car feels less floaty like a boat. Overall satisfied with it & worth the upgrade if one plans to keep the car for some time. Would also recommend this over the M5 front sway due to the natural shape for the endlinks. ✌️
