Damn it, why do the sedan owners get burned so bad with the aftermarket sector. If i realized sooner that I didnt need AWD that much I would have looked for a RWD E60, probably a 535i.
The struggle continues, 3,000 dollar coilovers or 270 dollar springs.
I have the springs now, and I wish i could go a tad lower.

I spoke with Fortune Auto. They do NOT offer an E61 option. They will custom build anything you need for a price, to the tune of $500-600 per corner.

Im kinda out of place here, altho i here to maybe get some more information or ideas.
I have a E60, not a E61. I thought ISC made a sedan version of coilovers for the E60 Xi models, but people here told me that they did not. I also tried coming in contact with them, and no response. I reached out to a few air ride vendors out there, and accu air sent me to air dynamiks. Air dynamiks told me they do not have a kit. I just cannot find any air ride either.
I was planning on making my 525xi just all show no go. But it looks like my only option is the V3s at this point. Iv heard abotu CKS or something like that but people said their are crap (the rust pretty quickly etc). Iv heard that Godspeed made a set as well for the AWD versions, but people who ordered them wont be getting them till like mid may. So thats my other option, not sure if those would fit E61s. Altho that kit is supposed to run around 800-900 bucks.
The KV3s, are they easy to handle. I know barely anything about suspension really, id just like nice ride quality back, and go a little lower. Might have to sell my wheels tho, decided to get 35 offset in front and 30 in the rear... the wheel is flush with the fender. If i were to lower it id have to roll the inner lip and maybe even pull those fenders.

New here: On ISC E61xi front coilovers with street/track setting, which I believe is 12kg/mm. The rear bag sensor arm is dislocated for even drop.
Rides like a dream, and fronts will adjust to slam city, if I decided to.
Adjustable end links and bottom strut body housings are well made.

Are those genuine m5 fenders/bumper?
Been wanting to do the rep m5 fenders but not totally clear if they are as wide or just have the grills for looks only.
