I just got off the phone with Tim at Wheelpower about purchasing H&R sport springs and we don't know if my 2007 530i w/ sport package has self-leveling feature?? I searched the forum and cannot find a definite answer. Does it only come on touring models??? Can someone please chime in. Thanks!

Go ahead with the purchase of the H&R Sport springs. WP is where I bought my Sport springs from. You don't have self-leveling.

I wouldn't necessarily trust that to be 100% true. There are tons of noises that the car makes when unlocking or waking up. Fuel pumps energize, SMG hydraulic pumps buzz, etc. As far as self-leveling suspensions, I thought that the Touring models have it but not the sedans. I could be wrong about that though...

With my SAT car, so far I'm only hearing a noise from the rear which I suspect is the fuel pump energizing or pressurizing.
All of the above noises are audible from the underside of the car. There are also some noises that come from the trunk like the Logic 7 amp fans, etc.
Again, as far as self-leveling goes, I thought that was only available on the touring model...
