There are 2 companies making anti-rollbars that I know of:
- h and r is making everyones (even when they are calling them there own)
- and ground control

Most everyone I believe is runnung h and r, probably because they are close to half the price of GC's.

I think GC's are the best for the most adjustability but not worth the price for most.

I'm pretty sure you can fit a OEM Z4M Bar on your car. Someone did it before on this forum. I know that for a fact.

I can sell you mine if you want (27mm front), and it will be alot cheaper than that

What about Hotchkis? And iirc, GC sways don't fit non-M's...

Some may have done it but it would take a bit of modification. I looked at Z4M bars for my 3.0si and concluded that it wasn't worth the trouble to mess around with the end links to make them fit. That's for the front, the M rear bars won't fit at all (different shape diff/subframe).

FWIW I have H&R bars front and rear and am more or less happy with them. Fronts give 90% of the reduction in body roll. Adding in the rear just dials out the mild understeer that installing the front creates.

The front is a pretty easy install. The rear is a bit more of a pain threading that big hunk of metal through the narrow nooks and crannies.

IMO for street driving just installing the front bar is sufficient. If you're Autoxing, need your car to be neutral (and your class regs allow it) then go for the rear bar too.

Some of the experienced track guys around here will tell you that anti-roll bars are the last thing you should monkey with on your suspension (shocks, springs, tires and alignment first). They're probably right, but throwing on a big front bar is reasonably easy and cheap and really does make the car feel a lot less wallowy in turns.
