I'm selling the H&R Street Performance Coilovers from my own personal car, a 2007 550i. I bought this kit new, and removed it after 5000-8000 miles in favor of Eibach Pro Kit Springs. I do prefer the H&R's over Eibach Pro Kit because it holds corners much better, but unfortunately I also use the car to shuttle clients around so it needs to be a little more passenger friendly 
For 04-07 545 or 550.
Retail price is anywhere between $1400-1600/set, Wholesale is $1200-1300
Asking $1000 shipped.

You can do install in 3-4 hours depending on whether you've installed this before.
The fronts are pretty straightforward, there are some brackets holding brake lines that need to be removed. Then you'll have to remove a few retaining bolts to loosen the damper. Add some WD40, someone stepping on the rotor and this comes off pretty easly.
The rear is slightly easier, but the top of the coilover is located inside the trunk so the trunk linings have to come off (not very hard).
Plan to have buddy to help you out because this is definitely a 2 person job.
Oh and PS, you don't need to have a spring compressor to do the install although it would definitely help. But you do need to remove the upper spring perch from the stock spring/shocks. With stock sports package, the springs don't really fly anywhere when you loosen them, but I can't say the same for a non-sports package.
