How much lower do you want to go?

I like mine as it is... bang for buck using Eibach + Koni FSD. (10mm lower than a Sport 5 Series) lol

If you like the way it looks and want more handling get Koni Yellow Sports. The front are adjustable at anytime the rears are adjusted prior to install. I have 25K miles on mine and I drive on full firm on the front !just awesome is all i can say

Ive got a 2005 523i no m-sport kit, I want to lower it. I wana know if this will cause faster wear on shocks and are there other related issues? What would you guys recommend me getting for my car? Thanx in advance

I have bilstein sport shocks and H&R suspension. lowers it by 40mm i think it is.... Love the aggressive look. Its a bit harsh, especially to others i know with Koni FSF + Eibach springs but the looks makes up for it!
