I'm on eibachs right now. Much more comfortable than h&r and still very stiff. However, im about to switch to kw coilovers, as springs only is not the right solution for a car of this degree.

I agree. I had H&R on mine, and it was a bit harsh. Eibachs or coilovers would be a much better choice. Gongrats on your new beast!

Congratulations Sir! 
Enjoy the 500 horses that are tucked under the bonnet / hood! And it goes without saying that you need to let her off the leash on the German Bundesautobahn at some stage of ownership and perhaps sneak in a few laps to explore the Nordschleife at the infamous Nürburgring!

Congrats, must be awesome.
Doing 45.000 km every gear (fuel prices) incl lots of trips with the whole family (of five) I was advised against taking an M5 and I listened to the advise! I was told the M5 guzzles gas, is stiff, jerky and noisy and not enjoyable on a 5000 km vacation trip with a caravan in tow! Well, all of that may be true and a 535D is awesome in so many ways... but man would I like to listen to those sweet 10 cylinders and take that baby for a spin on the Nurnburgring, just once!
