Hi,
I bought CPO 530i with sports package & SMG.
I saw a 530i today at parking lot and parked next to the car.
My car was about 2 inch lower (it was noticeable that my car was lower)
I wonder if it's because mine has sports package, or if previous owner had changed springs.
I have 18" OEM wheels.
Thanks in advance

2 inch lower ?
That is 50mm, you normally need a coilover suspension for.
The sport is lower, but only by about 15mm, just over half an inch

Your larger rims make it appear lower as well. The 17 inch rims on the base e60 make it look like there is more room between the fender well and the tops of your rims/tires that is all. It is a tad lower but its playing tricks on ya too
