Can you just lower the front part of the e60, and it still look right and ride right. I'm getting some 20's but I think the back is low enough. Is this why most people get 275-30-20 in the rear and not the same size as the front 245-35-20? 
got-lip said the 525i would look like a 4X4 if I did not lower it.

Dude, you're in Germany asking such a question. Shame on you! But to answer your question, I would think lowering just the front might not balance the center of gravity need for a balanced ride. I'm sure someone who know better than I will answer, but after lower 3 cars, thats my take. Plus, it will look like a low rider!

I found a post where Hammane5 had 20's and didn't lower his car, so I think i'll just leave as is. Plus the back roads where I'm at are deadly for low rides. I have to find a new route to the autobaun or my 20 will be toast.

I assume you ment me... nah it my car did look like a 4x4... the day after I got my springs put on I met up with 05White530i and he just got his 20's put on and we parked next to each other his car looked huge compared to mine.. but when lovering the car with H&R springs the car isn't that low to the ground trust me you got plenty of ground clearence...its not low to the ground like a low rider just a little lower but you can tell the difference...your roads can't be much worse then what we got here in NJ so I would go ahead and lower both ends cause it will look better and ride better...don't just do the front the ride will suck
