Hi people:

Will the H&R springs for 545 fit on a 530?

Because I might be getting the set from ak47si, but his is for 545.

Please let me know if this is going to be ok or not.

Thank you...

They should all be the same. The H&R sport springs are designed not only for BMWs but for many other makes.

H&R has 2 seperate part numbers for 525/530's (29255-1) and 545 (50460). I doub't they can be used on your 530. I would contact H&R to make sure.

Although the size will be the same, the spring rates are different as the 545 is heavier, due to the 8pot engine.

Could be very hard and uncomfy/bouncy/crashy in your 530.

I wouldn't do it
