Really one of the best things you can do for handling without breaking the bank. One of the reasons the 02 is considered a better handling car is because of the sway bars. The standard 320i sadly has no rear bar to speak of. I found a 19mm rear bar and brackets in the junkyard and picked it up. Got it on my car in less than a half hour, in my apartment parking lot, without raising the car or taking off the tires. The diffrence is AMAZING. The "snap back" which occurs when coming out of a corner is gone, and the car feels 10 times more stable now. Probably the cheapest, easiest mod you can do. If you can't find a big bar, the bar from a 320iS will do as well, though it is only a 16 or 17mm, I forget which one. But something back there is bigger than nothing. Hope this helps!
