Arrow 2008 BMW 328i Coupe 6-speed manual, what's the best fit to tighten body roll?🤔

I have a 2008 BMW 328i 6-speed manual Coupe,,

The car only has 77,000 miles, but I noticed a lot of body roll mostly when I'm going high speeds around curves.

What would be the best fit to tighten this up maybe some aftermarket rear sway bars? I would think this would be a little bit tighter being a Coupe, but I guess it's not because it's not the sport model and I don't have the sport seats!

Any suggestions on tightening up the suspension and body roll is greatly appreciated thank you🙂

depends of your budget.

For a 328 I would stick on M3 part upgrade, like arms. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-assemble...31306775098kt/

polyurethane bushing , like powerflex. You can do the subframe, swaybar and diff bushing.

H&R made a nice upgrade for cheap, but dont know if they still make it.

note this is not an easy job. You need to drop the rear subframe a couple of inches to remove the bar.

Okay yeah I'm about to put it on the lift and look at it make sure my rear sway bar is tight I'm wondering if there's any adjustment on that?

you might need an inspection on the rear parts or alignment.

I dont feel like Ive a lot of body roll and pushing 535whp on a wagon, and kept the OEM sway bar and OEM bushing.

(I should have change it since I was ''there'' but didnt..)

I did do subframe and diff bushing.

Hey oVeRdOsE!

I found the problem, my Rear Lower Trailing Control Arm driver side broke almost completely off some how! I was wondering why she was swinging in the rear!

I have not hit anything so how did that happen, I only have 77k miles!?

So is this a simple take off and put the new part on, any pressing, torquing, etc?

Also I just had it in aligned 4-wheel two weeks ago and four brand new tires, will I have to get it aligned again once I put the part on?

Thank you!
