Bolt size for Sway Bar brackets ?

I don't have the bolts for the Sway Bar/Torsion bar brackets. There are two brackets with rubber bushings that hold on the sway bar.

Anyone know the size of these bolts ??

Thanks!

Are you x-drive? I believe the RWD has studs on the subframe for the front bar and require 4 - M8 locknuts to install.

The X-drive swaybar uses 4 - collared M10 x 20 grade 10.9 bolts - BMW part number 33316769212.

This helps a LOT!
I bought a low milage 328i that has a salvage title for $500. Its actually in great shape except the person who owned it left it in the desert here in CA for about 4 months with the windows open. So needless to say, the interior has completely come out and is all cleaned. Its missing a few suspension parts but nothing too major. Just needs a nit of time to bring it back to life.
The engine now idles perfectly and it only has 68K miles. Not too bad!

There is an excellent website to find almost any part information for your BMW. RealOEM.com. You enter the last 7 digits of your VIN and your car comes up with BMW's TIS information. It sounds like with your project car you'll need it. Here's the specific info for the 328i swaybar. Item 4 in the schematic is the "Self-locking collar nut M8-10 ZNS3" used to attach the bracket to the frame rail. But you said "bolt", which I'd now have a concern the suds that locate the bracket to the frame were wrung off by the previous owner. Hopefully you assumed it was a bolt

Also, if you are going to come to E90 post with questions, it's best to tell members what model, year and mileage of your car up front. It helps us figure out what may be wrong with your car. This was a simple question, but in the future, some will be more difficult.
