[s-cars] Sway bars

I have a 1988 90q with a rear sway bar.  It was obviously installed
after market by some early owner.  I only know one thing about it -- the
end links are from a BMW, as I had to replace them once and the place
doing the repair recognized them.  Perhaps the sway bar is also from a
BMW.  It is fairly small in diameter, but I don't have a number handy
tonight.
