With my SMG car, there were all kinds of buzzing and whirring noises -- on wakeup, on sleep, or sometimes what seemed to be simply random.

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.

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...
. And that's both axels. AS is both for sedans as well as Tourings, but not with the M-sport package. Again, if AS is an option in each country remains an open issue...

If you have sport suspension you'll have self leveling in the rear. Take the car to wheel power and have them look at it. You probably have active steering too. Also call the dealer give em you're vin and they can tell you

Now, if you cannot substantiate your claims that Sport suspension e60 SEDANs have self-leveling PLEASE stop spreading mis-information. Thank you.

I have to set the record straight here. There are NO e60 sedans in the US that self-leveling. Self-leveling is only available on the e61 touring model. What makes you think Wheel Power would know more than the folks here who have e60s? Here's some of my proof that support my claims that self-leveling is only for the e61 touring model:
