Hey Beemerdreamer - The only company that makes springs for our xi is Hamann. You can't just order standard 530i springs for our car. They won't work and will screw up the AWD system. I was told clearly by H&R to NOT order these springs, even though TireRack's site says you can. This is a MISTAKE.
Hamann springs are essentially H&R springs, but the downside is, you can't order these from H&R direct. You have to order them direct from Hamann. Don't ask me why...
If you want, I can send you the guys info that I was dealing with at Hamann. I was on the verge of buying these direct from him. Total, with shipping, was around $630 US for these springs. It's a hefty price to pay for just springs, but this is our only option for now. As for H&R releasing their "xi" springs, which is the thread I started last year, they aren't going to do it. I think they want to see the demand in sales from Hamann first, before they go to production. I'd also have to believe that not a lot of "xi" owners are modders, so the rationale for spending the money on production just isn't there.

It is tested and got German T?V security standards certificate so it is not bad and you get a NORMAL look car, and performance still keeping 100% your awd capability.

It's just too bad that it costs twice as much. Hey Attila - Talk to your boys at Hamann and get them to lower the price. Tell them they'll get more orders if they do.
Here is the deal if you get 10 people we make you a nice offer...stay tuned, but I need 10 SERIOUS buyers no "windowshoppers"
Dear members getting you a quote for ship costs a lot of money and time!!!! Please therefore understand.Thank you my friend, if you all do your best, so do I as always!!! At least who is interested http://www.hamann-motorsport.hu/?a=kapcsolat send me your forums name and your cars spec also your ZIP.
Then ats check$ out all deal?

Ok I always try to make a group buy here but cancelled all as many 100s PMs and emails and not really keen on sending out hundreds of emails, and no replies.

Attila - Get us a price quote for the springs. We understand that shipping will vary, but get us a quote on the cost of the springs and we'll get something going.

That is not funny. That is a sad situation. I lost my wife in January. Life is precious dont take it for granted. We don't need those type of jokes.
