Hello ALL:
Just acquired a 2008 535xiT with Sport Package. Am looking for antiroll bars that will improve cornering response without degrading ride and a throatier sounding exhaust that doesen't drome at cruising speeds. Am also considering MGP caliper covers sinc eI don't need the stopping power of Brembo's. Note parts must be avialable in USA so all that wonderful MPackage stuff in Europe probably doesn't work. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.
PS I do not want to lower the ride height as ground clearance is an issue during the winter and on some rough roads.

I have been looking for (and have not found) sway bars in the US for my 2008 535XiT. Let me know if you do...
KW Variant 3 Coil Over Suspension would give better ride and flatter cornering and is height adjustable. Parts cost is ~$2200 US, installation 4+hours. There are threads on this site.
Coming from a Volvo V70R that was too low (bent the driveshaft over a RR crossing on vacation) with factory 45 series front tires (that rubbed the fenders) and low profile rims/tires (that were fragile), I'm happy with my standard 50 series tires (Conti DWS) and the ride height - don't need the hassle in the real world since I take this car to triathlons. I did install the Dinan Stage II s/w ($2000) which is AWESOME and an Escort 9500 ci ($2000) which has saved my rear (and front) many times.
