Lowering, yes or no ?
#2
The only way I would lower a car is with a factory approved, or high quality aftermarket suspension kit. If you just replace the springs, you will sacrifice ride, handling, and overall performance just for looks.

as much as i would like to lower it a little bit, i will either wait it out until Dinan releases some sort of kit, wether it be springs only, or springs & shocks, or Coilovers - i'm pretty sure it will be quite costly, however it will be covered under BMW factory warranty, and not do too much harm to my lease.

I know that AC Schnitzer has shock and coilover for E60.. but it's pretty expensive..
