Would like to know if there is any new info as well. If nothing comes out soon I may pull the trigger on the Lightweight sways.

The front bar is gonna be a nightmare to change. I was looking when I was changing my downpipe haha. I'm pretty sure you have to drop the sub frame

FWIW, I also shot an email to Whiteline yesterday. Haven't heard back yet, but they make stuff for the 1-series. Had some of their stuff on my Subarus and loved it.

I think I might go the Birds Auto route. I spoke to an H&R person on the phone today, and they said that there was nothing indicating that sway bars for the M235i are even in development. Maybe he didn't know what he was talking about, but the fact that there is nothing even in the computer is not good.

On the other hand, Birds has their bars ready for sale. I sent them an email today asking them about it. Chances are that I will get them. I will post a review of my impressions if/when I get them.

I just wrote them an email to see if there's any progress. I'll post here when they reply.

Hi everyone. Good news! H&R replied! I have to say H&R has great customer service. They reply my emails super quick. Well done! Here's the following info on the anti-roll bar:

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.

Interesting to note, the anti-roll bar for the m235i (part number 33895-2) is the same as for the 1-series F20/F21 and the 3-series F30/F31/F34 and the 4-series F32.

That's great news! Does anyone know the factory sway bar diameters for the front and rear?

I have H&R sport springs, m3m4 LCA's and Birds b1 sway bars all installed by Birds on my adaptive m135i.

Excellent upgrade even on our poorly surfaced roads here in the UK !!!

If any one is interested ...

http://suspension-shop.com/h-r-anti-...plete-kit.html

Since the part nos. are the same, you could just go and order the 1 series kit and be done with it. I might do this.

That site also shows this:

Though no information on specs for said kit, and ST doesn't have anything on their site either....

I'd rather take my chances with the H&R kit.

Pulled the trigger and ordered the 1er H&R sway kit from the website I posted earlier. I had talked to Birds Auto a few days ago and he verified that the 1er and 2er sway bars are the exact same, so I feel pretty safe. Anyone else joining in?

Thanks for that link. I'll join in about 3 weeks when I get back from vacation. Keeps us posted on how it goes.
