Seems to be the same ... The part numbers I saw for the suspension pieces seems to be the same between them.

From my understanding based on the 5 series brochure.
Pre-LCI 550i were regular sports caliberated suspensions
LCI 550i are retuned sports caliberated ( similar to M5 ?? )
525i, 528i, 535i all share the same sports suspension as the pre-LCI 550i cars. Not 100% sure on the M-sport cars but it may also be retuned suspension?

Interesting thread. According to this, there doesn't seem to be a difference in ride height between pre-LCI and LCI.
