Guys,

Kevin Foote at Turner Motorsport just emailed me and said H&R Springs for the E60 xi (AWD) model are available!!! I followed up with a phone call to him and it's true. Only he and one other vendor in the US know that these are now available. Here's the story:

Part no: 29146-1 is the the SEDAN w/o auto leveling.
Part no: 29146-2 is for the Wagon w/o auto leveling.

Make sure you click on the right part number, depending on your model. Both are listed.

I am placing my order right now. Cost is $252.85! The link above is through TurnerMotorSports, even though it says Allsprings.com

Happy Buying!

Just placed my order!!! WOOT!!!!!!!!! I can't contain my excitement!!! Great price too, $290 USD shipped to my front door!

I wonder what made H&R change their mind. I called and talked to H&R a few months back, and they said they weren't going to make xi springs, because there weren't enough xi owners in California to justify developing them.

Cman,

Do you have someone in the tri-state area in mind to do the installation or are you going to DIY

Sorry it took so long guys, but I will post pix and results after I am done. All I can say is, THANK GOD! I have been a huge advocate of the xi springs for the E60 for the past year and was in direct contact with H&R for over a year. I hope everyone enjoys them! Congrats to all!

Love,

The C man!

How long will it take the springs to get to you? Maybe you could drive one state over, pick it up yourself C, and have it installed by Saturday.....

The ones for the touring are the same as the saloon. Only difference is that you only get the front springs, as the touring has the air suspension in the rear.

The rear air suspension can be adjusted through your dealer with their Diagnosis system to match the front lowering
