How about the Beyern Baroque. I was going to get those. Still haven't seen the Baroque on a E60. But out of the 3, I would get the Petrol.

Those are sweet but i think they'r over my budget, correct me if i'm wrong?

Beyerns for sure - Baroque or mesh. I think the straighter spokes will look better for a heavy 5 series type car. I'm not a fan of the lips on the MRRs.

hows the handling of General Exclaim UHP in the rain n wet roads?
this is my first set of wheels so im not very familiar.

Pretty good. You can't complain. I wish I knew about them earlier, I wouldn't have waited that long in getting them. Makes a whole lot of difference over Bridgestones and Michelins.

Right now, i'm torn between the Beyern mesh and Petrol Vngeance...any1 has more pics of them on E60's.

As for springs, its either eibach pro-kit or H&R sport springs on stock shocks..what are the differences between the 2?

eibach pro-kit would give your 530 sport a 0.5" drop all around, and the H&R sports would give a 0.7" drop in front and 0.6" in the rear. eibach is said to give the closest ride to stock comfort-wise.

General is the inhouse brand of Continental tires. They are pretty good. Very inexpensive for what you get. Huge bargain.
