Every E61 that came states side had the self leveling Air shocks int he rear...
If your car has the sport package and has ARS, the coil over /shocks springs won't matter, it's the Sway bar that you will have difficulty changing out... Dinan used to have some "upgrades" for the ARS ( man I wish my wagon had it.....
) but I don't think they stock them any more.
Coil over/ shocks springs you will have minor difficulty's with.... nothing to worry about...
BTW with H&R are you looking at the Euro page in English by chance or the US distributers?
There would be your difference.

Just a side note:
I don't think that buzzing sound is the leveling system. I looked into it once... read a few threads about it... and it seems there are many opinions on what that sound is. The best answer seems to be that it's the fuel pump priming for start-up. Not sure if that has been verified or not but it sure is a funny sound. People ask me about it all the time when I unlock my car.

I thought it was the central lock\un-lock safety feature. I heard the E60s have a feature that if you get in an accident and the airbags deploy, all the doors would unlock to avoid trapping you in and that it's merely some solenoid actuating to either enable or disable the feature.
