Guys - I know the price. It's 15% off 386 Euros. My question is, how many orders do we need to make that group buy happen. Catch what I'm saying? 
Jed - any idea when you will get your car back?

is that shipped?
Or you should look which State is the best for you and only send one big package w 10 springs.
at least 5 people for getting the reduction and that is not even a real groupbuy IMO, thanks PM anytime I will help you with your probelms and questions.

OK...so the magic number is 5 orders.
I was quoted, direct from the Hamann Exporter to the US, the following numbers:
Springs: 385 Euros = $507.31
Shipping (Long Island, NY): 126 Euros = $164.71
Total: 511 Euros = $673.34
At 15% off the Springs, we are looking at: $431.22, which brings the total to: $595.93.
What are peoples thoughts?

If Dinan never releases their springs, or it's more expensive, then I will gladly pay that price for the Hamann springs.

Will the ride be much "harder" will the Hamann springs? I want to lower my car but really don't want to sacrifice comfort for look. My previous experiences told me lowering with springs ONLY will make the ride feels like a dump trunk. I'm thinking to get a complete set of coilover to avoid that problem. Am I correct?

If Dinan does release something for our car, it needs to be a complete set and not just springs. I too, agree with Blinkme that having Dinan's suspension is more compelling, since it's covered under warranty.
As for the ride quality of the springs, there is one member on this forum that has the Hamann springs. I need to check my messages from last year and see if I can remember who he is. I haven't seen this person post in a really LONG time.

OK, the member who had the Hamann Springs for his 530xi is: 2MANYCARS.
Unfortunately, he no longer has his car and is now the proud owner of an M6. He hasn't posted since December 5th, according to his profile, which makes me think he's probably on M6Board.com now and no longer visits E60.net.
If anyone is a member on M6Board, you may want to search for him. He may even have the same handle.

than some guys who has never seen a spring in life But I'm certainly not a pro so I really don't have a correct answer.
