I MIGHT be picking these up but I have a simple question. When buying springs, there are different ones for 530 and 550 due to weight. Does this still apply to coilovers? The link above only says it works with e60, but doesn't specifically say it works with 550, anyone have input?

If you go with KW, get the three stage version, variant 3 or V3. You can adjust the damper and the ride height indepedently.

IMO KW V3 is overkill for plain street use. They have seperately adjustable rebound and compression for the dampers. The V2 adjustable dampers is fine and save you $$.

KW's website lists the same coilover for all E60 applications except M5, and same goes with Bilstein. So it should work.

the only application difference is for the M5... the rest of the non-M E60 is the same..it should fit...

i might be wrong though..
