Hi Marc,
Welcome to the best E60 forum! Congratulations on your recent purchase.
Seems that you've been bitten by the mod bug already. Regarding springs what exactly are you looking for? Most folks here are on either Koni/Eibach, H&R/Bilstein or Coil-over set-ups. What you need depends on what you're looking for. Are you interested in simply lowering the car or are you looking for adjustability in height and stiffness?

to the fourm and congrats on your new (to you) car. If you get the chance post your ocation as well as specs/options on your car as it helps answer future questions....as far as springs go...seems most members here tend to go with eibach pro kit springs or H&R. I'me sure other members will chime in as well...you can run a search on both as there are many threads on these topics...
also try browsing the "classified" section for parts also...like this one..

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new ride!! Lets see some pics before the mods start. There are plenty of topics regarding lowering springs and suspension if you do some searching. Good Luck.
