My 2009 535i XDrive MSport 6 Speed Manual
Attached are pictures of my 2009 E60 535i MSport XDrive with 6 Speed Manual.
MODS: Dinan Stage 2 programming. Remus Quad Exhaust; Style 313 BMW Performance Wheels.
My only beef with the XI is that it is so hard to find aftermarket performance parts for BMW Xi models. I purchased a Brembo BBK and later found out that there are no brackets for the E60 AWD models. I therefore, could not install the BBK.

Thank you for the nice compliment!
The wheels are 19 inch BMW Performance Style 313. Staggered: Back - 275-30-19, Front 245-35-19.
They fit nicely with no rubbing.

For xi/AWD/x-Drive model the suspension height on standard model and Sport Package are identical ... Sport Package option on our model is cosmetic only i.e. 18" wheels (instead of 17"), Shadowline trim, Steering wheel w/ round air bag & front seats ... the detail listed on page #24 in the brochure -> https://5series.net/info/2008_5_Series_Brochure.pdf

My Ride: 12 VW Passat TDI
11 Subaru STi Sedan (GONE)
09 E60 XI
06 E46 M3 (GONE)
05 Subaru LGT (GONE)
00 Ford Lightning (GONE)
H&R springs and 19" wheels (Staggered)
Took out the springs because they were too harsh...
I had many cars with coilovers in the past but these springs are not designed right for E60 XI
