I also want to add the install for the M5 front sway bar is super easy. You can do it with the car on ramps in no more than 30mins and thats taking your time.
I normally DIY all of my parts but now with a baby I decided to let my shop do it. I watched the whole process and it was in and out in 30mins and that includes getting the car on and off the lift. Theres maybe a dozen small bolts that holds the belly pan up and once that is off you have a total of 6 bolts that holds the sway bar in place. Its in a area that isn't blocked by anything and you can reach all of the bolts with ease. My stock front sway bar

First post from a new member - Many thanks to Alan. Great research and willingness to be a guinea pig. I'm a relatively new owner of a 2013xi, M-sport with DDC but no ARS. I have the Dinan springs and I'm going in for the Shockware. It sound like the M5 sway bar will round out the suspension upgrades well. Thanks for providing some great info.

M 528i - Use this site to cross reference which models share the same parts
http://www.bmwstore.pl/pl/katalog/pr...ni-z-pod-gumow Part# 31356791924 is what comes on a standard 535i here in the US. When i plugged in that number in that website it lists a bunch of cars that also uses the same part and your 528i is included. This means since the M5 bar fits a 535i, it will also fit a 528i. Alan

M5 confirmed for us his rear bar on his F10 M5 is 18mm. For those of us wanting to match the factory set up when upgrading to the M5 front bar, the makes the choice for the REAR BAR real easy- 18mm

^^ the M5 rear bar is confirmed to not be a direct fit by Joe@ptech. The 550GT however is looking like a good alternative since it is also 18mm in diameter

Waiting for Joe@ptech to confirm. He's waiting for the bar to arrive but looking at realoem.com this bar should fit the F10.
