Most forum members through my research and contacts use either KW or Ksport coilovers. I haven't seen any discussion or past threads mentioning H&R coils, just springs,,,,,, personally i'll be installing KW street comfort coilovers. Good luck in your research..

My Ride: 2007 530i ~ Fully loaded | Sport Package
20" VIP Modular Wheels
ICE by Method Sound
M Style Body Kit
Stop Tech BBK
FK High Sport Coilovers
RPI Exhaust
RPI Air Intake
DEPENDING UPON THE AMOUNT YOU WANT TO SPEND:
A) HEIGTH ONLY ~ Ksports, FK, Koni, Bilstein (around $1000)
OR
HEIGTH AND DAMPENING/Rebound CONTROL ~ H&R, KW's, Bilstein, etc ($1200-$3000) approx....
I currently have FK highsports and they are great (heigth only). EVERYONE loves KW's if you can afford them, H&R have mixed reviews, Bilsteins have a good set up as well (PSS9 or PSS 10's). If you can afford the additional $500 or so, GO FOR THE DAMPENING CONTROL sets, it makes a world of difference!
Hope the above helps!
