530e lowering springs
Looking at options on lowering springs. I spoke to eibach today and they don't have any plans to release the pro kit for the 530e.
I don't fancy H&R due to bad experiences in the past. That leaves AC schnitzer which I believe have springs made by eibach anyway. I can't find them online, anyone have any info they can share?

I have an M sport car yes, but BMW don't offer M sport suspension (lowered springs) on the 530e.
I have standard shocks, so no Variable dampers.

Let me check. Because I installed H&R on 530e M Sport and it rode fine. Ride a little stiffer than stock, but not bouncy.

So H&R is the only option for the 530e. The correct part number is 28721-5. Image courtesy of Shmeidmann https://www.schmiedmann.co.uk/en/pro...roduct=28721-5

Any update on other offerings? Those H&R springs are just too low. PLus, they seem to sag in the rear. I don't think they really compensated for the battery weight in the rear.

The pictures that I post are using the non 530e springs. Other than that, your option is KW V3 coilover.

What's your opinion on wheels spacers for the 530e with the same 19" M Sport wheels you have? 12mm/15mm, or does 15mm/20mm work better with these wheels when lowered?

12/15 more to the conservative side or if it not lowered.

I have H&R springs, bolts and spacers for the 530e. I just took them off after about 3k miles (like new) to put on the G11 20" wheels.
They are for sale if anyone is interested. PM me.. |

Hi everyone.
on my new 530e I have tried to replace the lowering springs from H&R H&R 28721-5. I drove it for 2 weeks thinking it will get better. However, it was jumpy and uncomfortable. I took a bite and replace mine with KW Coil Over STREET COMFORT Part #: 180200BY This one is with Electronic dampers since mine originally was. Nicely lowered very.. Very comfortable. However at the maximum high position it is too low and you can not get is any higher. I needed to raise it up at least 1/2" and can not. Unfortunately KW has recalled this product calling it unfit until another product is made and I have removed and replaced factory shocks again. I have H&R Springs 28721-5 available for quick sale.... PM if interested ..

I am not that happy with the H&R springs either. They are sitting a bit to low and ride is to harsh. I have warped the front rims several times already. However, the stock springs are sitting way to high and does not look good. Anyone have any ideas on something in between?
