E60 M sport 535i xdrive touring sway bars
Just picked up a 2010 535i xdrive M sport wagon with the n54 and looking to upgrade the front and rear sway bars. Has anyone found any bigger diameter sway bars to fit? I can’t find any direct kits online. Also, with it being an Xdrive car, can I do coil coilovers or should I just replace the stock M suspension? Thank you!

Rear M5 is bigger and bolts in long as you have the m5 bushing IIRC. It's been a long time so I don't recall the fronts. If you are looking for the biggest ones available, you'll want some Racing Dynamics sways. But those are very hard to come by, especially as a set.
Xdrive isn't an issue for the coilovers, more so the rear bags. I personally have KW v3's on my car and absolutely love the ride and look. Some other brands have rear bag delete and replace with a spring. Those are usually a cheaper option to the v3's.

sorry for my ignorance, but what do you mean by m5 bushing “IIRC”? Most sites don’t seem to offer a sway bar kit that fits the wagon but I found the KW coilovers, thank you!!

For what it's worth rear e60 sway bars fit just fine. I upgraded my 535i xdrive's 13mm with a 14mm from like an e60 530 I think. Still nicely balanced. I don't have m sport suspension though.
