Front Sway Bar for BMW 1 Series E82 (2008-2013)

• 52% stiffer than the factory E90/E92 M3 bar. 42% stiffer than the E93 M3 bar!
• 27mm straight across (not a tapered center like the E93 M3 factory bar)
• Solid core, not hollow like the stock bars (better at resisting twist)
• Forged, non-adjustable steel ends
• Highest tensile steel strength available

The H&R for the E9X M3 is the best anti-roll bar option for the E9X M3. Don't be let down by the "small" size compared to the factory sway bar sizes - there are some big differences! We've had our in-house suspension engineers run the math and the H&R swaybar is over 52% stiffer than the factory E90/E92 M3 bar and even over 42% stiffer than the E93 M3 sway bar upgrade. There are several reasons for this - the stock sway bars are hollow (for lighter weight) and will twist more than the solid H&R bar. Also, the E93 M3 bar is often called a 28mm bar but it actually tapers down in the center to 24mm which greatly reduces its effectiveness. So if you're looking for a serious sway bar upgrade, the H&R is clearly the way to go. Note: to maintain the handling balance of the car, we recommend only using the front bar with the matching H&R rear bar or heavily revised racing suspension.
