Absolutely! The stock 5 series cars lean quite a bit in turns. The aftermarket swaybars eliminate this lean without hurting the ride quality much, unlike stiffer springs. I have installed Racing Dynamic bars or RD Sport bars as sold nowadays through Bavarian Autosport. I bought mine there 9 years ago. Easy installation. They are adjustable too which makes fine tuning them to your handling taste a breeze. Go for them! Aside from tires they are the next best thing you can do to improve handling!

I have a chance to buy used Bavsport sway bars. Has anyone ever installed aftermarket sway bars and did they make a noticiable improvement?
Thanks,
Todd
