Not sure if it's variable thickness or what, original parts were 25/21,2 and didn't look progressive, perhaps it's the center vs. side thickness.

Anyhow, all I can say is I loved my F20 M135i when I had one, so I expect the same bars will probably give a good balance, being thicker than stock but not as stiff as H&R at the back (what a pain! what were they thinking!)
But what I did not think well before- is the shape of M135i bar is different to 320i as the 6-cylinder engine has another power-steering motor placement and the engine itself.

Probably it would be better to change the order for 24,2mm M-Technik (31 35 6 792 125) front one for pre-LCI 320i with N20 engine.
But referring to Dinan DNN018 front+rear kit, which is applicable to all models from 320i to 335i, the M135i kit should fit F30 320i, as the suframes are the same on M135i and 320i.

So seems I'll be the first to try installing M135i bars on F30 with N20 engine.)
