Sway bars with the Sport package?

Is there any speculation/truth behind the installation of an aftermarket sway bar on an E90 N54 with a sport package? I mean, there is already a "V" shaped sway bar, but I am seeing adverts for a tower sway bar. WTH???

Are you thinking of a strut tower brace rather than a front sway bar?

am i wrong in thinking the black bar is a sway bar? To answer your question, yes I am talking about the tower struts. Is there a reason you need to have two of them?

you are talking abt strut bar. sway bar is different thing all together.
stock oem strut bar is not super stiff. m3 strut bar or any aftermarket strut bar is much stiffer.it marginally improves handling. some people just upgrade so that its easier to dial in thier coilover settings.
