Hi. I'm from Bangkok, Thailand.
I just have my 520D last month. I'm new member at here and just buy M6 streering wheel from this web 2 weeks ago. I have Subaru Impreza STI, Lancer Evolution 7. and just buy this 520D for save my money cause at here diesel is cheaper than gasolene. My 520D is very good car I put on 19" 166 M5 and have some M-Sport part for my car. But the suspention is standard. I think my car is too high I want to change it to M-Sport Suspention but someone told me H&R or Eibach is better than M-Sport. I afraid it too hard for me when driving my car on road. What do you think about Eibach spring? Thank again for this website give me a lot of information about E60 car. Nice to be part of you group.

Welcome cpbkk. Congrat on your ride!
As far as the spring, hit a search button and you'll find many topics about spring. Different person, different opinion.
I am using Eibach, like it very much. Ride is a just a little bit stiffer than my sport suspension but that's because I am using a low profile tire too.
So anyway, welcome aboard and enjoy this forum. I am sure you'll get bunch of info from here..

Welcome aboard!

Your car looks great. Just get a set of H&R Sport Springs and you'll be all set. Although, I'd probably do coilovers instead, so you have shocks that match up well with the new spring rate. Plus, they're adjustable for whatever ride height suits your needs!

Congrats and . I bought a set of Vogtland lowering springs because I'm not happy with the ride
on my H&R Coilovers. I'm going back to stock sport suspension with the Vogtland springs. Enjoy your ride.
