Just ordered it, I'll let you know when I install it but I think I will have to wait until spring to really evaluate it. I can't put the suspension under any real stress with my snow tires on, they just give up if I try any serious cornering.

That looks pretty sweet!
Can I ask where you ordered it from? From what I understand, anything sold in the US that's authentic Racing Dynamics has been rebranded as RDSport due to an issue they had with replicated products from Electrodyne Inc in the past.

That does look nice. I think this is the first time I've seen this item for the E60. I had one by Dinan on my E36 and it made a difference in the response of the front end. I put that on my list of must haves. I would like to know also where you ordered from and if not too much to ask, the price?

Racing Dynamics makes good braces. I like the look of this one, but doubt it would feel that much different - 5 series is not the kind of car you will see much difference in driving by adding a strut bar.
