Ok guys,

I have decided im going to get some coilovers soon. I know everyone is going to say KW v3's but currenly i'm on a budget and can't spend more then $1500. Other option is to save up and get the KW's next summer. But lately i'm really starting to hate the front gap on my car with the eibach springs. I looked around and found Megan,KSport,D2 and BC racing coilovers. Did some research and i have to say for the E60 M5 the megans,KSports and D2's are not the way to go. Now the BC Racing coilover i've read alot of E39 M5 member's have gotten them and are really happy wiht them. They make them for E60 M5. What do you guys think? All help is appreciated.

Here's a link with more info:

Let us know how the BC racing coilovers are. I'll need coilovers sooner or later. But for now, my H&R springs will do.

I heard these are made in Taiwan actually. BC Racing coilovers are better then megan,D2 and KSport. BC racing coils are the most expensive out them all.

BC Racing is the better way to go.
I have them in my e46 M3 and by far the best coilovers. 30 way adjustable with independent lower cartrdiges to allow drop but still keep suspension travel.

Can the BC race coils go really low?
what do you think about CKS coilovers?

I just got some KW V3's for my M5 and they are sick! I had lowering springs for ages and am so glad I finally dumped them. I love my car even more now -- it's so much more fun to drive!

I have BCR installed on my Lexus GS460. I love them! And very affordable at 900 bucks!

They are made in USA, how do I know? Cause customs clearance here passed them without paying duty. We have a free trade agreement with USA!
