    Touring sway bars

    Looking to stiffen my ‘03 540iT M-tech with a sway bar upgrade. Currently 25/15mm with Konis & Dinan springs.
    M5’s are 27/16.5mm which appears the best cost effective but research indicates the M5 front bar will not fit on Touring. Is this true? Dinan is 28 NLA & 17mm, Eibach is 1mm larger. So as not to upset the balance I thought it would be best to replace front & rear together. What has worked best? Is there another option? Keep the OE bar & upgrade the bushes?

    I have M5 on my 02 540iT and confirm it fits. I had M5 rear sway bar as well but then replaced with Dinan adjustable rear sway bar. I’m also on Koni yellows with H&R springs. Hope that helps...

    Yes it does, thanks. I may just wait for some reasonable price M5 bars to show up.
