Your explanation was perfect Tony. What I wanted to know was if it fit the 530's. I just called the Dinan sales and tech departments respectively, and both told me it won't fit. Now I'm sad.

Instead of replacing the factory swaybars with larger units, the Dinan roll control system relocates the mounting tab on the factory sway bars closer so that it's tighter thereby reducing body roll during cornering.
I have the Dinan front roll control system and rear sway bar on my M5 and I think it's a great improvement on handling. The car is flat on turns.

Is there drilling involved?
Thanks,

Will the 545 intake fit seamlessly on the 550i or are modifications required. I noticed that it took Dinan a while to offer one for the 550i long after the 545i intake system was available?

Really!!!? Dinan tech didn't drill my roll bar at all, it's just a bolt on from my observation
