hello everyone -
i'm in the market within the next 30 days to buy a 530i or 545i. my questions for all e60 owners who have the sports package. I know the wheels on the 530's are 17's and the 545's are 18's..
How about the height of the sports suspension, are they the same for both models?
I tried doing a search but couldnt find a clear answer and I know the feedback on this forum has been great from all the threads i've seen about the e60's
Thank again!

The 530i & 545i Sport both have 18" factory wheels but the 545i factory wheels (style124) are staggered and the 530i wheels (style 123) are not. Check out the link below to see all the different style wheels which were offered for the E60. I dont know if the suspension is different though

The E60 530i & E60 545i w/ M-Sport and their wheels could be different in various ways. First of all, the 530i Sport - is it a 2G or 3G 530i? Because the 545i was only made between 2003 (late) to 2005 (late) and they changed it over to a 550i (at least most countries anyways). So I'd imagine the 545i M-Sport (without any current modifications) would have the 18" M-Sport rims. Whereas, the 2G and/or 3G 530i you could have the Double Spoke 19" (as in you have a choice to choose between the initial 18" M-Sport wheels or the 19")!
As for the height of the car, it's exactly the same given that they are all OEM stuff. But one thing you should take into consideration is the rotor! The 545i has a bigger rotor!
Hope the above helps!
