H&Rs are that uncomfortable? I ask because I'm researching suspension options for my 530i.

Loving the stance of your car. I too am rocking H&R Springs right now. The stance is amazing but you do cringe when you hit bumps because of the bouncy recoil. For a few seconds you feel like you are out of control. I am saving up for KW V2s. Thanks for sharing your story.

I wonder which is the best application, KW V2s or V3s?

H&R sport springs are stiffer than stock and they are bad match with OEM shocks. You need to mate them with sport shocks that have better damping characteristics than OEM.

Damn!!! The overall car is on point. Color of the car gives it such a clean look with the wheels and rear diffuser. Are those VMR's? Hyper black or gunmetal?

IMO v3 is overkill. V2 is sweet. Not running KW's but have a few friends' E60's running V2 and V3.
