OVERVIEW
H&R's matched front & rear sway bar set increases torsional stiffness over the factory bars on the rear-wheel-drive F30 sedan and F32-family coupe/convertible/Gran Coupe, reducing body roll and sharpening turn-in. The front bar is two-hole adjustable for street or track roll-stiffness tuning.
H&R sells this as a single part number across the RWD 320i/328i/330i/340i (F30) and 428i/430i (F32/F33/F36) — these share the same front/rear suspension geometry and subframe mounting points on the RWD F3x platform.
SPECS
- 28mm front bar / 20mm rear bar
- Front bar is two-hole adjustable for street/track roll-stiffness tuning
- Larger diameter than the factory bars for reduced body roll

TECH RESOURCES
Additional Parts Required
- None. H&R includes the mounting bushings and hardware needed for installation.
- A four-wheel alignment is recommended after installation (service, sold separately).
Installation
- H&R general technical & installation information (PDF, hosted on our Shopify) — H&R does not publish a sway-bar-specific install guide separate from this general technical document.
Notes
- Fitment correction from the original bundled listing: the RWD H&R part 72878-5 is confirmed by Turner Motorsport, Vivid Racing, and Pelican Parts to cover 320i/328i/330i/340i (F30) and 428i/430i (F32/F33/F36) — the four-cylinder-plus-340i RWD grouping. It does NOT include the 335i or 435i/440i, which use the separate H&R part 72878-2 (see our M235i/M240i/335i/435i/440i RWD listing). The original draft's assumed model list conflated these two distinct H&R parts; this listing uses the corrected, source-verified fitment.
- RWD-only fitment. H&R sells a separate part (72878-6) for the xDrive/AWD version of these same chassis — confirm drivetrain before ordering.
- hrsprings.com's product catalog is JavaScript-only and could not be crawled directly; the part number below is confirmed against this SKU's own Shopify variant field and cross-checked against Turner Motorsport, Vivid Racing, and Pelican Parts listings for the same H&R part.
