So after being on the board for years and going to the Cali meet & greets I finally have the caught the modding bug. Last Friday I went by Eurorev and had them install the Koni fsd shocks & struts and Eibach Sport springs on my non-sport E60. WOW is all I can say. I was a bit weary installing them because I got use to the 'luxury' feel of the E60 and I didn?t want to give up much comfort.
The car has an awesome stance now, and the ride is not all that bad. I think I gave up on 30% on the bouncy comfy ride feeling in exchange for the sporty handling. I took twisty road back home and I really pushed the E60 on the twisty's. The car now just floats ride above the road. I do feel the road a lot more and the bumps are MUCH more pronounced!
I got a really good deal on the lit from tire rack a few weeks back and got the whole thing shipped for $610 + $250 install. I will post pics soon.

You know, to complement the remap you need to get the AFE CAI and free-flow exhaust right?
