Rotor and calipers, rear hub need to be replace with the ones on the m5.

Have you looked into upgrading to slotted/drilled rotors, ceramic pads, and ss brake hoses? Makes a big difference while keeping all your oem xi parts.

I just purchased an e60 M5 rear swaybar for my 2010 535xi Sport! Will be installing it shortly. Also, I bought a set of e60 M5 wheels,....they're going on too once the correct size tires are purchased.
Future plans:
Larger FMIC
Charge pipe
DICs
Down pipes,....possibly, but only if I can go with larger CATs downstream! (Car must be able to past emissions in VA).
MHD Stage 2 tune
Edit: I'm somewhat building the 2010 535 version of the 2018 F90 M5,...but of course, only in 535xi flavor!

Thank you. Did the highway ride change and cause the car to ride rougher? It appears to be the same shape excluding the bar diameter increase from 12mm. Is this correct or did it require new Anti-roll linkage?

The M5 was 18mm and $81 dollars on ebay so I figured why not,
I installed H&R springs about the same time so it was firmer all around. It came with links that looked new so I used them.
You have to pay to play. I did it on the cheap but it has to be a wee bit better than stock. Do I notice it with my driving? not really.
Springs lowering and the bar helped tighten corners. It isnt your cushy ride anymore.
