ACS says they will fit all cars 520i-545i both standard and sport models. It will not fit 550i.

Just wondering......sports package models has the "ars"

Active Roll Stabilization is an "active" suspension control system design to reduce body roll in cornering, resulting in improved handling. Whenever entering a corner, "lateral acceleration" is generated. Sensors read the level of body roll and communicate with the ECU or central "brain" which then processes this signal and coordinates various systems to respond. As a result, ARS actively generates resistance to body roll by twisting the front and rear anti-roll bars appropriate to the situation.


To conclude.....ive read that aftermarket sway bars will not work on these cars with sports suspension....so i dunno?

That is strange. Here is the ACS rep's quote exactly:

Hello Mike,

The anti roll bars are for the following models 520i - 545i and for 525d - 535d, but not for the 550i.

There is no problem in using the anti roll bars in a factory sport suspension.

Regards

Michel

I sold the other parts, so I'm relisting the sway bars at a new reduced price. $475 shipped! The car feels totally different with these installed, less body roll than my stock M3 did. This is a steal since these are quite expensive sways if purchased new.



will these fit an 04 545i? are these front and rear? thanks

I think these should fit. And they are for front and rear. This is a pretty good deal- I would have jumped on it, if not for some member selling his m5 sways for less.

Yes, they will fit a 2004 545i. Yes, the car will have much less roll in the corners.


*I've also reduced the price to $350 shipped*
