Come to think of it, why didn't H&R test and release the anti-roll bar for the m235i earlier since it's the same one from the 1,3 and 4 series?? It took them a year to put an already manufactured anti-roll bar to the m235i and test??

Anyways, I'll probably order the H&R in a few weeks as well. Can't wait to get rid of the roll! If anyone installed the H&R, pls kindly give us a review. Thanks in advance!

I have h & r sways on my m235i, It is worth it. Mine are 2 way front, non rear. Came from a m235i race car. Huge huge job to put in, so if your not tracking I would not bother. You are prob looking at 10-12 hours of labor for front and back. If your car is lowered you will need end links.

You need end links if you have h&r springs on? That doesn't make sense...

Sorry I mean lowered springs, you will have some rubbing on the stock end links on the tie rod ends, depending on which holes you use. That's with the hr sways. 1 series sways should bolt up no problem, same chassis.

M235i 2WD
anti roll bar set
p/n 33895-2
front bar ø 28mm, twice adjustable
rear bar ø 20mm, not adjustable
new rubber bushings are included in the set
Please note that the TÜV approval is not yet here, it may take
some weeks still until we get this official document.
But the bar is tested already, so we´re just waiting for the paperwork.
The bar is in stock already so in case you do not need the approval, you
can order it from your local H&R dealer already.
M235i 4WD is not tested yet.

Just got some confirmation of this from the US office of H&R. I was told over the phone that the sways are done (duh) and should be in stock/on the website very soon (week or two), in case anyone wants to order the OFFICIAL M235i sway bars.

This statement is correct. H&R springs lower the F22 a lot. You'll definitely need a set of adjustable end links to get rid of any preload on the bar.

You will enjoy the sways when you get them, you can see my car has little to no roll left.

Looks awesome. Thank you! By the way, did you use adjustable endlinks? If so, where did you get them? Thanks!

FYI -- the 2 series sway bars now show on H&R's website. Same PN as the respective 3 and 4 series bars.

Can you elaborate a little bit more about the front sway installation please? Thank you!
