I am trying to figure out if I can fit springs from a 2007 M5 in my 04-530 (non-sport).

I'm not sure, but I don't think its not going to work on a non-M suspension.

Hope this helps...

I am considering this beacue I am getting the M5 springs from a friend who has just added a Dinan package to his M5 ... need to know if they will work on a 530.

I agree with that. For the price, you are better off going aftermarket. You will get a better performance upgrade that is suited directly for your vehicle.
