Hello Guys,

I am looking into buying some M5 suspension ( just the Springs and coils) and I really want to know a few things :

1. Will it fit a non M 5er?>
2 How low will it lower my car?
3. Will it create a rubbing issues with my tires? I have 255/35/19 fronts and 285/30/19 rear style 167 wheels.

I am getting a great deal on this., comming off a M5 with 50K. Front and rear springs for less than $100.

It will not be compatible.

Even if the suspension components were compatible, it would likely RAISE you car. I happen to have an E60 M5 and an E60 535i. An E60 535i with sport package sits significantly lower than a stock E60 M5. I had H&R sport springs on my M5 until a week ago, and even when it was lowered, the M5 was slightly higher than my 535i. Now that my M5 is back on stock springs, it looks like its at least an inch and a half higher. I will never understand why BMW gave the M5 such a bad "gap".
