Oh nice! How is the ride with the H&R springs? Do you have a 535xi?

My Ride: 535xi Wagon

I sold it last year, the H and Rs were pretty good. The mild lowering really gave a more sporty feel without losing to much of the overall ride quality.

Yes I had a 535xi 2008 N54. I swapped out to Bilstein B8s all the way around. I had to order the rear shocks from Europe as the don't sell the B8s for e61 in the states.

Ah I see okay, thanks for the help! I'll most likely just do BC coils up front and retain the air rear.
