Aftermarket swaybars?

Its probably a long shot but has anyone come across any aftermarket swaybars for the F15 chassis? Seems like aftermarket suspension support for the F15 chassis is pretty limited, which is not surprising since its a big ass SUV after all. Trying to minimize body roll without sacrificing ride comfort so no springs or coilovers. Also do all F85 X5M come with active sway bars/DHP? If not then maybe those could possibly be thicker and fit the F15 chassis?

Wondering as well...maybe front and rear. I lowered with Eibach, but I feel upgraded sways would help.

Looks like all the F85/86s come with active sway bars.

did a little bit more digging. it seems like F15 uses the same swaybar designs as E70/E71. then again it doesnt look like there are any aftermarket options for E70/E71 as well lol.

i was hoping M models had a traditional sway bar as base, but i believe all M models comes with active sways as default. technically u can still retro fit them but it'll involve too many parts, sensors, and coding to make it work, with an unknown price too, not worth the hassle.
