TMS Sway Bars
I installed the TMS Sway Bar Kit(Front&Rear) that they offer for the E46 M3 this week and not only do the fit our M but, they work great. Body roll is greatly reduced and turn in is much more responsive. I am currently running the medium front setting and soft in the rear. The difference in how the car performs is night and day. My goal was to improve handling characteristics without sacrificing any ride height. I will be adding Bilstein HD shocks soon with my stock springs and will report back on how this effects things. i have advised Turner and they will be updating their website to show these bars work on the Z4MC/R.
FWIW http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-26...y-bar-kit.aspx

Yup... Did the same thing, except turner was out of stock & I bought the H&R.
(Turners are made by H&R) I also did adjustable end links at the same time. (From turner) I felt they really complimented the KW Clubsports at my last track day. ....using same settings as you.

Are these solid or tubular? Lighter or heavier than OEM?

^this
Especially when corner balanced, because ride heights are different on all four corners.

Did you specifically want something stiffer than the 27mm H&R ones normally used for the Z4M? And are you at all worried about this sort of thing? Or fix it if it comes up type attitude?

Yeah, I guess it is. I thought i'd read about people getting the 27mm h&r bars for m's but it must have been only non-m's. Oops.

You shouldn't need rear sways on a BMW...You'll end up upsetting the rear-end more and making it twitchy

Made a big difference in my car after 80,000 miles. There was a sort of "twist" at the rear once the car finished rolling on turn entry. After replacing the RTABs and putting the limiters in, this behavior was gone for for last track weekend at Road America.
