with PDC, do you think it picks up the lower bumper and helps avoid those curbs, or not really? did any of you have an E39 with sports, and if so, how does it compare, height wise?

My PDC seems to pick up curbs and cement blocks at the front of parking spaces. Most of the time though, I back into them rather than take the risk.

Comfort Access is one option I would order on all my cars. I love it!! I too forget to take my keys out of my pocket when I go to drive my wife's X5.

WASSY,
The Aero kit is not as low as you think. I had more mishaps with my 2002 540 sport, than the 550 with Aero-kit. The 540 sport had these black plastic pieces tucked under the front bumper that broke in half. I ripped them out completly the day before I gave it back.

Agree...it's not as low as you think. I have not scraped it yet (knock on wood).
You would probably scrap it on a parking stop but I do that on my 328i and it has no modifications.
