I have an 06 550 and been asked if it was lowered. It really does seem lower than most E60's I see. Mine came with 18", but now she's wearing 19".

if it is not lower then you need to check your shocks.
maybe they had there time.
4 members in HK have change there shocks within 10 to 14 months after installing the lower springs. :thumbsdown:
