you gotta get the KWv3's, you won't regret it.
I did the Eibach Pro-Kit and it's perfect. With the EDC on the M, I don't really need to do Coilovers. I mean, it doesn't hurt, but the ride height is now perfect and the Eibachs are much better than my old H&R's. It's almost as if nothing changed, in terms of ride quality throughout all the settings. I was reading a lot about the Pro-Kit on M5Board, prior to install, and a lot of members are running these springs with the stock set-up and have nothing but good things to say. I'm sure the KW's wouldn't hurt, especially since they make a set that works with the EDC on my car, but I'm just not sure it's worth it with this model E60. If it wasn't the M, I'd probably do it.

But then again, who knows. I told myself I won't be doing an exhaust, but after seeing 5 different M5's last night at this local meet, all with aftermarket exhausts, I started thinking maybe I should get one. Hahahaha!

Nah, E60.net is my family. However, there are certain things on that board that provides me with useful information for my new car. I search on that board, each time I have a technical question that can't be answered here. I've been a member over there for a couple of years now, but I never post much. I like this place much better. Better people and just a better environment. This is my family.
