I searched high and low for Eibach, Hamman or Hartge lowering springs for E61 AWD with no success.
I ruled out H&R springs due to a big drop and a harsh ride and my previous experience with them.
I also ruled out KW variant 3 coilovers due to a high price and no real need for coilovers.

Emailed each vendor and got :
1. no reply from Eibach UK, and negative from Eibach US rep
2. negative reply from Hartge
3. negative reply from Hamman (re-branded H&R springs?)


Yes, I did find and Eibach ProKit for RWD E61 on ebay and from a couple of inquiries on ebay.UK and other sites in EU, I am getting positive replies from vendors about fitting Eibach springs for E61 RWD onto my E61 AWD. But I can not fully trust a seller of a product since they are a bit biased
This is really annoying


If someone could confirm fitment of a E61 RWD Pro Kit to a E61 AWD I'd be very thankful!

Or any other option available in Europe would be welcome (with a contact info)

I was about suggest that you buy the Pro-Kit (ca. 150 USD), try to fit it, and if it does not fit, re-sell it to me, as I will be buying one anyways.

But unfortunately 2 things stand in the way: 1. I have a 6-cylinder diesel and would need the V8-gasoline engine springs (weight), and 2. shipping from the US to Europe would make it uneconomical, unless you take a big hit on the resale...

Ah, I was thinking the same thing, but I won't be able to resell them here in US since I will be buying the Prokit from Europe for a 6cyl diesel engine (to make up for added weight of AWD), shipping will kill it plus we do not have any diesel-powered E61 here

Thanks for the offer though

Still waiting for reply from Eibach.de

In this case you can buy the springs for the 545i (which also fit the 530d) from the US:

Then we will have just one shipping to Europe. I'll send you further details over PM.
