Does anyone know what are good struts for the e60 , to run with the H&R sports... Just installed the sports and needed a good set of struts to keep the cars suspension tight. I wanted to run on the stock ones but the drop is too low and i want to put the stock suspension away ti i get rid of the car later in life...lol Anyone have a good idea. I need something soft and yet stiff enough to hold it tight.

There isn't a set. That's why CO's are ideal. It's really a shame the E60XI doesn't have choices like the E46XI's did.

I run bilsteins with my H&R sports and its a nice setup I'm quite happy with it. I'm not sure if bilstein has anything for xi though you would have to check.

correct, there arent any aftermarket shocks available for the xi e60s presently. another option would be coilovers though.
