... or E61s to be specific. I have one with dynamic drive and auto-leveling thingy in the back. It has the sports package but I want it a tad lower.

Just how much of a PITA is it to lower it? Can I just go out and get shocks and springs? What route should I take if I want to maintain all/most of the comfort? This is my DD and don't want to compromise too much with how it drives today . . .

 

A buddy of mine has an E60 M5 and he did a H&R spring kit and it looks damn good. Didn't cost more than $500 to have it done and it look great. Those thing are way too high in stock trim. I'll try and dig up a pic or get one when I get back home.

The car is still very comfortable, and if it is anything like my M3 with H&R springs, then it is a little stiffer, but not that bad at all.

 

Don't get springs you cheap ass.

Why do you want it lower - to use it as a snow plow in the winter?

 

^^Well coil overs would ruin the ride. If you want to be a non-cheap ass and have a race car stiff ride, be my guest.

 

Get springs you cheap ass.

I like it that you want it lower - so you can use it as a snow plow in Iceland.

 

Don't think you can lower the 518d?

 

Explain...

A properly setup car lowered on a quality adjustable coilover setup should be able to be tuned to ride like stock.
