The car doesn't have to handle like it's on rails as i feel it handles pretty well in stock form, plus the fact that i slide allover in my seats when cornering, i'd just like to eliminate some of the body roll. Sounds like swaybars might be my first upgrade.
Sadly, i have yet to see a 5-series in "real" life with anything more than 18's on there and those have been OE sports package wheels. I do, however, like that size. Has anyone only upgraded from 17" to 18" wheels? The reason i'm asking, it seems there are more choices for 18" and 20" than 19. I'm not sold on getting 20s yet. In all honesty, i have been perfectly happy with how the car looks, rides, handles...until finding this forum, damn you guys and your 20inch rims! LOL!!! Anyway, any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! =)

If you put 20" the car will start off slower and use more fuel.

You don't give to many specs about your car... if you have the sport Pkg ,in the US it comes with Active Roll Stabilization which is essentially Sway bars with a computer controlled hydraulic component. You won't be able to upgrade the sway bars without loosing this incredible feature.

In Hk there is no sport PKG when I got my car in 2004 and If you go into my profile you can see the spec.
Now you can have the Active Roll Stabilization just like my sway bars but for a price in HK about $5800us
and my H&R sways bars is only $480us alot less![W00t](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/w00t.gif)

Yep. I also asked Dinan about this and the reason why they haven't come out with their own sway bars yet is because they said the software has to be adjusted for the ARS. Once they get a handle on the software remapping, they'll probably release sway bars too but I'm not sure.

Is Dinan not making sway bar for non ARS cars? ![Confused](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif)
