Here is my XI on H&R's. I know there has been lots of bashing but I have had zero problems with my springs and love them!

Check out the new shoes.
Fitment is PERFECT! Sits as flush as it can get without spacers. Although if I was a betting man, I'd say that the rears can be pushed out another 5mm or so.
No talking about lowering, because we know what a bitch xi E60's are when it comes to lowering, haha. Besides, I think it looks fine just as it is. I think it's a E60.net taboo to have any non-lowered or sport pack E60, haha.
Onto the important wheel specs for other xi owners.
Velocity Motoring Wheels V710
F: 245/35/19 tires with 19x8.5J, ET +35mm
R: 275/30/19 tires with 19x9.5J, ET +33mm
Onto the pictures!

My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
I think it doesn't look that bad now 
of course a drop would look better, but the wheels are already doing their job 
just that if you dropped it, they'd be working overtime 
Rock on tho! Car looks sweet
