Have heard Sachs also makes good suspension but you do need to pay for the premium tho...like the bilstein.
If you wanna drop the car without huge affects on the ride quality, go for the Eibach pro-kit springs and thats wht i am going to do. This is the closest ride quality u can get to the standard ride compare with others like H&R etc.....
Sing Fai is close to the Bmw Concessionaires(kowloon) but i dunno the exact location and am sure pinguhk will PM you the address
Well..welcome to the forum and great to having you here!!
It will be great if you can share some pics of your beauty with us

BTW, I happend to change my suspension today, bilstein sprint + Eibach pro kit springs...... it dropped the front alot, the front arch covered the wheel a little bit..... but the back is only tiny little bit lower then the stock ones........ look kind of strange...... the handleing is awesome i can tackle the corner faster, especially on the long bent on the highways.... but yet, it is still a bit too hard ( at least for me) and the front shocks hit the top stoke over some bigger bumps..... I still have a set of Vmaxx springs that my friend gave me, I will share more with you guys once I tried....

which is cool 
Glad you happy with the handling and stuffs, the ride is harder but what you get is better cornering.
i was so scared and i've been struggling for a long time of whether get it drop or not cos dun wanna scratch my bumper and those nasty car park in HK and my sister's driving skills has stopped me in the first place, but i think i will still go for it cos its just too much body roll on E60.
Can't wait to get mine done
Hope to see you in the next meet up

I just did other mod on the car.
My old OEM Brake Disk where getting low so I change them to a Zimmermann Sport Brake Disk with holes.
these disk are the same size as the OEM so no need to mod the brakes.
Just plug & play.
They are cheeper than BMW OEM disk too.
these are much better than the oem
for my next car I get I will get 4 pot Brembo front and 2 pot real
