My Ride: 2004 530i, Silver Gray, Premium Pkg, Cold Weather package, Black Leather seats with lumbar support, Poplar wood finish. Mods: M6 19" wheels with 245/35/19 Front Tires 275/30/19 Rear Tires, K&N Filter, H&R Sway bars, Magnaflow Muffler, Sprint Booster, Black front grill, M-tech front bumper, Debadged

I am looking for my next mod for my non-sport 04 530

I love cornering but the car has too much sway and rolling so I am considering sway bars and other mods to get a sportier fell to the ride.

I dont want to spend a packet so looking for options.

Can someone help with suggestions on what I should do and relative $$?

thanks in advance!

H&R makes sway bars for our cars. dropping it would also help.

edit: just thought of it, eibach makes some for our cars too, but H&Rs are thicker.

I checked with a BMW shop today about the sway bars and the guy told me that they have seen some problems with the cars with aftermarket sway bars, in the fact that the mounting points on the chasis maynot be able to take the strain of the new bars and may crack!!

Any inputs on this?

thanks
