But if your car has dynamic drive, you can only get the front and middle bars only,
as the rear bar will be obstructed by the dynamic drive mechanism underneath your car.
I had front and middle bars fitted and very happy with it, you will feel the chassis has been stiffen up even at slow speed corners.

Coincidentally, I have the third - rearmost bar up for sale in the classifieds for 70 bucks right now, if anyone wants to save a little loot
And just to excuse my shameless self-promotion, I'll add some constructive input - I've tried fitting it on my Xi and it will not fit Xi. Reason why, Xi's exhaust hangs a lot lower than RWD E60's. Whereas on the RWD you can modify the exhaust just a little to make it fit, on Xi, it isn't possible. Also, if you have quads or thinker than OEM exhaust piping, you might have issues.

You will need to get all 3 bars for the best results.
But if your car has dynamic drive, you can only get the front and middle bars only,
as the rear bar will be obstructed by the dynamic drive mechanism underneath your car.
