Im am going to do my suspension on Monday at Motorcepts and was wondering if anyone out there has any suggestions on settings for the coilover set? My ride is a 530xi but I'm assuming the 530i should be the same.

have motorcepts adjust the height to whatever u desire.. drive for about 50 miles so the kw settles and also so u can figure out how much stiffness u want.. good luck and have fun driving with it
