Any reccomendations or ideas for this? What I can imagine you just have to replace the front springs, the rear is adjusted by the car.

I have not done it yet. I went and ordered a new car instead so it have to wait a little. But I have looked it up and Eibach have a kit for the E61 now and it's only front springs. Very cheap and I seems like the rear will just " come along" with the front by the auto levering system on the E61.
My plan is to order the Eibach kit when the new car arrives and test it.

You have ordered quite a car! Congrats!
What is the "Parrot BT-HF"?
Why don't you order sport suspension from BMW? The differenc eis very noticeable at least in the 3 series (i had a 320d sport and a standard).
See you!

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to spring, dry roads and the new car!
Parrot BT HF is a aftermarket HF kit with Blue Tooth connetction. It cost somthing like ?150 so it's a really economical solution to get HF. I have considered to install a Sony Ericsson kit instead, it looks like a "mini iDrive".
I had considered to order the BMW sports suspension, but I didn't think it was worth the 3500 to get harder springs in the front only. The Eibach kist seems to be like ?180 plus labor and that's more normal for a pair of springs.
I have the 124-wheels with RFT so I will start with the standard springs and see if the ride gets OK before I get a lowering kit.
See U!
