You can't/shouldn't add sway bars to an e60 with ARS (dynamic drive) in the US spec sport package. It's not a straight swap.

If you don't have ARS/dynamic drive/sport package e60 then I'd highly recommend adding them if you like taking corners at speed.
my e60 doesnt have the sports package. what do sway bars do?

Helps you corner better at faster speeds and helps with the body roll..

They keep the car more level, reducing body roll when cornering. There is a slight trade off in that you will feel more bumps going straight but the adjustable ones like these H&Rs lets you play with your preferred settings.

If you have a car lift would be an easy DIY but would take a mechanic 1/2 hour

edit: Some pics of my install here http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=62821
