Why the front swaybar upgrade and not a rear bar?

installing the rear means dropping the subframe. I'll see how I do with just the front first.

Quite the opposite actually on a softly sprung car. Call it a bmw “quirk” to conventional wisdom.

Darren said the same thing. I’m not convinced with soft springs and struts and a car that likes to get into the bump stops right now.

Christmas tree of lights on the dash the past two mornings, both went away when the car is turned off and back on again except a lingering service engine soon light now permanently on. Different than CEL, which did not come on.
Quick internet search says its likely a rear wheel speed sensor or less likey and more expensive a fault within the transfer case (sensor or motor) or in the charging system (low voltage makes everything go apeshit). I'll pull the codes but Its going to the shop tuesday for oil change so I'll ask them to take a look. Car starts/drives fine.
This is exactly what old bmw ownership looks like and I still dont really love this car.

this one is the actual Carly with the app that i'm not renewing, so i have a few months left of the software.
Today, the gauges do this while I am driving down the road.... and the car is in some kind of limp mode wont take full throttle.
And then I came home, walk away from the car for 10 minutes, go back outside to check the voltage and it starts up totally normal. Its at 11.9v off, 14.9-15.2v running. Not sure what the spec is, but seems high. Fuck this thing.

And people keep convincing me that the next car I buy, that I plan to drive into the ground, should be German.

Did you properly code the battery to the alternator [emoji39]
I would start at cleaning every major connection you can find, then a new battery. Battery should read 12.5 when off; you might just have an alternator overcharging the battery attempting to compensate for the weak battery or bad connection.
Or just burn it to the ground. That would probably be easier.
Why do people just post what they are thinking? Without thinking.

i think 12v lead acid car batteries are supposed to charge between 14.4 and 14.7v. at least that's how my battery tender is configured to charge them. 15v while running sounds busted but don't BMW's use some kind of fancy pants battery?

Battery was new OEM coded to the car at the indy shop last year.
Its back at the same shop where they've spent most of the day looking at it and cant figure out what the ghost in the machine is, other than there is a long string of KCAN (bmw canbus) failures. The internet says it could be any number of the various 'modules' connected to the canbus gone bad/gotten wet that will send the whole system apeshit, or it could be part of the wiring harness that either isnt grounding properly or has had some abrasion, exposing a wire to ground against the chassis/brackets. The car went to the dealer 3 weeks ago for a wiring recall behind the glove box/under the dash so that's a possibility that something got reassembled incorrectly.
This is the 2nd failure in 6 months that has rendered the car inoperable and I dont think I can trust this thing anymore.

On the bright side, it's saved you from yourself.
