I'd inquired from the local Eibach distributor in Manila about a set of ProKit springs for my E60 530i, and he mentioned that if not installed properly, there may be fault warnings triggered on the dash display. Has anyone ever experienced this?

AFAIK members who've done the install did not have any issues with iDrive. But I can't be wrong.

there's nothing electronic directly related to the springs, so no reason there should be any problems.

There isn't any software issues. I had them installed on my e60 before.

One thing you might have to fix, if you have Adaptive Xenon's, you might have to just readjust the Aim because it might aim too low with the springs on.


Good luck and enjoy.
