Second Hand BMW M8 Anti Roll Bar

Yes, the BMW M8 is fitted with anti roll bars at both the front and rear axle as part of its sophisticated multi-link suspension setup. All variants of the M8 — including the Coupé, Convertible, and Gran Coupé body styles — use anti roll bars to manage body roll given the car's substantial power and weight. You will need to specify whether you need the front or rear bar when requesting quotes from a breaker.

The BMW M8 has been produced from 2019 onwards in a single generation (F91/F92/F93 platform), so a 2019 and a 2022 car share the same underlying architecture. That said, BMW M cars can receive running-gear revisions mid-cycle without obvious external changes, so you should confirm with the breaker that the part number matches your specific registration before buying. Never assume fitment purely on the basis of production year.

These three body styles share the same F9x platform and broadly the same suspension geometry, but their differing weights — the Convertible and Gran Coupé are heavier than the Coupé — can mean BMW specifies different anti roll bar rates or diameters for each body style. Always tell the breaker which body style you have as well as your registration number, so they can check the correct part. Do not assume a bar from a Coupé will be a direct swap onto a Gran Coupé without that confirmation.

Trim level alone does not determine anti roll bar fitment in the way that colour or interior spec would, but the M8 Competition does feature a stiffer suspension tune compared to the standard M8, which may involve different anti roll bar specifications. Because sport suspension differences are one of the areas where BMW does not always make changes obvious externally, you should confirm with the breaker whether the bar from a standard M8 is identical to one from a Competition against your specific registration. It is a straightforward check for any experienced breaker with access to parts data.

Anti roll bars themselves run across the full width of the axle and are a single component, so you do not need to specify nearside or offside for the bar itself. However, if you are also replacing the drop links or end links that connect the bar to the suspension, those are side-specific, and you would need to specify NS (nearside, left) or OS (offside, right) when ordering. Make sure you are clear with the breaker about exactly which component you need to avoid receiving the wrong part.

The M8 launched in 2019 and remains in a single generation on the F9x platform, so the basic anti roll bar design has been consistent throughout production. However, BMW occasionally revises suspension components during a model run and these updates are not always publicised, so the safest approach is to give the breaker your full registration and ask them to cross-reference the part number against the bar they have on the shelf. This takes only moments for a knowledgeable breaker and protects you from a costly mismatch.
