Fk streetline coilovers? I wonder how the ride will feel on my 535? From your previous comment you said not bouncy but a little stiff? Can you Elborate a little more. I'm looking to purchase coilovers soon need to get some opinions. Thanks

My Ride: 2006 550i M Sport
Now one thing i have to say is that i am very disappointed with the design of the rear strut mounts on these vehicles...Last week i experienced something i didn't expect...both of my rear struts went right through the mounts "into" the trunk...Nothing was loose, all bolts were tight...Was not happy to see that...So the steel bushing got pushed out of the mount itself...Anyways i had to install large steel washer between the strut shaft and the mount on both sides...So far no problems...the car feels much better in terms of handling If it happens again i am switching to CC plates and this way eliminating the rubber from the rear mounts as i think that is the weak spot...It did cross my mind that the springs could be too soft in the rear and compress too much...still the strut shouldn't travel past the top of the spring...anyways if anyone had a similar experience please share...
