There's a trick BMW did on the E36 M3 vs 325- the M3 actually had a smaller diameter front sway bar vs a 325, but was effectively stiffer b/c the endlinks connected to the strut instead of the LCA as on teh 325. Since the strut is further outboard than the LCA swaybar mounting hole, the bar gets more leverage on the suspension and has more effect.
A friend of mine has a 325 and used his oem front sway bar with a M3 style endlink/strut mounted to have a bar stiffer than the M3. It works well.
I want to see if something like this is possible with the 240s. Make a bracket off of the strut's lower mounting bolts to attach a sway bar link.
The factory sway bar could possibly also have an additional hole drilled to stiffen it further.
Im going to look into this with my car and i'll post what i find.
