I don't remember which forum it was where there's quite a bit of discussions about lowering springs in the E61. I am assuming you have xDrive as it is the only way it is available here in the US. If you do not have xDrive, IIRC, you can use lowering spring from HR, but with xDrive, the only way to go is KW coilovers. The lowering spring & shock route for the xDrive creates a very harsh ride, and quite a number of folks have removed it due to the ride.

I just did an E61 in our shop the other day and our customer purchased the front H&R springs and then modified the self leveling adjusters to even the back out. Here is how it turned out:
