Google is your friend....for these prices I would pass on the used parts choice.
see this link for OEM springs or any other option if you so desire

Checked out the link punched in my car 07 525xi and it says it doesn't fit my car. I tried looking up by my vehicle and it says nothing is available. Since my car is an E60 shouldn't these springs be interchangeable in regards to the part 04-10?

good question, would have thought they are the same but maybe try talking to them and ask what their return policy is.

I appreciate the help!! Got the change done by buying using used springs and swapping them in with the shocks/strut assembly. I wanted to give you guys a heads up if ya'll doing a replacement on the rear end that the DIY's don't tell you is to use a ball joint removal tool to take the ball joint (attached to the swing assembly) (part cost at Napa $13) off to ensure you can push down on the break assembly to place in the new the new assembly in. The DIY's advised me to use a rubber mallet and pound on the bottom piece of the ball joint unseize the part. I wanted to take the cautionary approach and not risk damage to the threading on the ball joint.
