Cos you dun mod your car to handle better than stock.
Those of us who are serious in improving our cars to handle better will know how good these H&R swaybars are & what a difference it makes.
Why dun you get a set & try them out??? If you can afford a E60, I'm sure you can afford the swaybars.
My 17 E60 & 3 E63 customers here will be ready to tell you how good they are.
Cheers

By THAT much?!? So much as to be able to see a difference on a street car which goes on the streets and has behind the wheel most probably an amateur?!? I doubt that a different rod of steel can change the handling to any degreee that can be felt... No offence, just my two cents.
you turn more on the street than on a track, in HK that is.

I agree with the majority here. As reported by many memebers upgrading the anti roll bars is a big gain in handling and one cheap mod too. I myself have a set of them in the garage waiting for an upgrade probably in spring, with a set of sportier springs aswell (yes sportier than M pack springs) ![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)
The change is dramatical in handling, because this is just a component of the whole package that determines the handling of a car.
Big ipaq if you have ever driven different E60s like standard non sport to M sport you might have felt the difference in handling.
There is a diference i think in shocks, then for sure in springs and most important in anti-roll bars. And if you see realoem.com you'll notice the difference is very little (a few mm). So that means: yes a few mm in thickness will improve the handling. That's just for some of us that want even more from the car.
PS: Does anybody know how thick are the H&R ones?

It like asking how long is a piece of string.
