No one made it. You are stuck with stock sway bar.

What did you use? The only "upgrade" option that i found was if you have base spring suspension to use rear sway bar from the car with 3rd row seat. I think it's like .5 mm thicker. So far, I haven't found any vendor selling upgraded sway bars for x5.
Heck, only recently vendors started selling upgraded intercooler - which also fits older x5s (e70), and that sucker was introduced to market in 2006 |

Random question: what's your car? If not M50d - maybe that's the way? I heard that M50d has thicker sway bars than lower models - not sure if true.

Interesting.
https://www.hardrace.com/Product_detail.asp?id=4311 28mm hollow. Need to learn more about it. Their website pictures shows it on a 35i? I'm thinking, single exhaust pipe. I emailed them for more info. Will update when I know more. Last edited by 1norseman; 05-03-2020 at 10:21 AM.. |

I would reach out to Ben@RGSport for his opinion. I trust him like no other.
If this is a true quality replacement...there is a market. I had a super well known company's upgraded rear sway on my S6 - and suddenly they all started literally breaking in 1/2. So I don't mess with subquality parts.

this is according to realoem. the only issue is hollow swaybars then to break easier than solid swaybars.

Under the dealer section there is 1 listed distributor in the US.
Maybe someone who lives in florida can swing by and inquire about the swaybar? USA VELOCITYSHOP INC 8111 Garden Road, Suite E, Riviera Beach, FL 33404, U.S.A Tel: 561-844-1008 Email: sales@buyhardrace.com Website: www.buyhardrace.com

I just sent them an email to see if they can source the product in the US. If so, I will buy one and give it a try and give a review. I have the sdrive35 with 3rd row air suspension and 19" wheels so I'm starting from the worst / ground zero suspension option. I have the H&R springs and links to install at the same time when Ohio opens back up after Covid.
Thanks for the post, I think a stronger swaybar and reducing the height will make a good impact until I can upgrade the wheels next season. Cheers. |

I just got an email from them.
https://hardraceusa.com/ but nothing listed for the F15 Looking forward to see what kind of reply BleuDawg gets. I would also likely order one, to try out. |

So I emailed the US distributor, and I have been waiting on a reply. I even mentioned this tread and possibility for them of getting a few of these sold. I did ask some more questions like what kind of testing they had done to come up with the size etc. Anyway, since I had not heard back, I called them today. Guy who answered, said sales staff is most likely waiting on a reply from HQ. Find out if they can get the product shipped here or not etc. Told me it could be another week before they know. |

I got a reply from them. Not much info at all, didn't answer my questions...
You can find pricing for the Q0346 rear sway bar listed below, currently those would be special order items with extended delivery times. If you can provide us with your full shipping address we can quote you for delivery charges and estimated times to you. Q0346 - $200.00usd I will reply and ask my questions again, not a good sign they didn't even acknowledge them, IMO... |

dont have ur hopes up that this will be a high quality product. havnt heard of the brand hardrace before this thread, and not much information on the internet about the company. pretty sure they just send the specifications to some chinese manufacture company and have some tubes bent and be it.
