Are the part numbers the same for Sport and NonSport packaged models?
Has anyone installed coilovers? How is the ride and height adjustment feature?

If ride quality is important, I would sure think twice about the race springs. H&R is a farily agressive product for American roads, even in the street setup. Have we decided against trying to find out about a lower Euro spec spring from the factory? That worked out so well on the Mercedes, after months of being unhappy with the H&R. I've just gotts think there is a lower spring available than the US spec ride height ones from the factory....Europe guys?

Check my post #17. Different part numbers for sport vs non-sport for 545i, which is what you have. ak47si has H&R coilovers.

Absolutely true. 525/530 have part number different from 545/550. It's not going to matter whether you have a 2006 or 2007 525. It's the same.

I know this is a BMW thread but I just put a set of H&R soft sports on my wifes mini (baby BMW)- it dropped it buy an inch all around and the ride still has the same quality (back still not needing support brace!)
