I know Intrax makes quality products generally -- they are very popular with the Audi crowd. Intrax is known for its slammed look.
If you are going to put these Intrax springs on, you'll need to upgrade your shocks as well ... maybe Konigs? If you stick with the OEM shocks, they'll blow on you after approx. 5k miles most likely.

[/quote]Haven't got a 545 but the big thing with springs is the ride quality and for that Eibach is hard to beat as for price Eibach in the UK are about the same price I used them and there is no noticable difference in the ride quality

My Ride: 05 545i, Silver Grey Met, Black Leather, popular wood, premium package, cold weather package, sport package, nav, shades, 50% tint entire car, Proline Styling clear bra...e60 M5 on order production date in Jan 06.
intrax is a cheap brand. I used to work in a tuner shop and we sold them mostly to rice rocket drivers. I would not recommend them for your e60, Eibach is your best option. You spent as much as you did for the car, dont go with a cheap product that will effect your ride. good luck

My Ride: 530iA Silver Grey , black interior. Premium Package, Navigation System, Head-up Display, Radio Satellite, Adaptive Xenon Headlights. AC Schnitzer Front Lip, H&R springs, Rear red reflector, All season Floor mat,
Go for either Eibach or H&R springs.. Those INTRAX springs are not really cheap, they are about the same price as Eibach & H&R..

Agreed. Intrax is meant for a CRX not a 545 let alone a car with climate control. Save an extra 40$ and buy some H&R Springs
