OVERVIEW
H&R's Sport Sway Bar Kit for the rear-wheel-drive G80 M3, G82/G83 M4 and G87 M2 upgrades both the front and rear anti-roll bars over the factory units, increasing torsional stiffness to reduce body roll under hard cornering. A stiffer bar keeps more of the tire's contact patch planted through a corner, sharpening turn-in and giving the chassis a flatter, more connected feel without touching ride height or spring rate.
The kit is a direct bolt-on using the factory mounting locations and reuses the factory end links, and both bars are multi-hole adjustable so the front-to-rear roll-stiffness balance can be tuned to the driver's preference. This is the rear-wheel-drive part number; the xDrive-equipped M3/M4 take a different H&R part number (72616).

- Installer-supplied tools: jack and stands, standard hand tools, and a torque wrench.
Installation
- Illustrated fitting instructions are included in the box with the sway bar kit. H&R does not publish a separate per-application installation PDF for this sway bar; the technical sheet linked below covers spring-specific topics (bumpstop trimming, spring identification) and is not applicable to this sway bar.
- H&R Warranties & Claims (PDF) — official H&R warranty terms, coverage periods and claim procedure.
Notes
- Confirmed as a genuine single part number, not a bundling error: retailer itsnotstock.com lists part 72616-2 explicitly as "H&R Front & Rear Sway Bar Kit for G80 M3 RWD, G82/G83 M4 RWD & G87 M2 RWD" — one kit across all three chassis. This is consistent with the G87 M2 being RWD-only from BMW with no factory xDrive option, so it shares the same rear-wheel-drive suspension geometry as the RWD-configured G80/G82/G83.
