I bought my 2011 550i 6MT used with 9k miles, for what I think was a great deal. At the time I bought it, I did not realize it had been modded, but came to realize that the car has been dropped, and there are several other mods, such as Carbon Fiber diffuser, mirror covers and side markers, deleted rear reflectors, and tints.

Can anyone identify what springs I have from the pictures?

Any other suggestions?

FYI here is your car with the previous owners mods. This should give you some ideas

That's some amazing detective work. More importantly, does the OP know if he has the Dinan tune?

Hahaha I surprised myself

It looks like the previous owner sold a lot of the mods prior to the sell of the car.

I can understand they would take the customer wheels off and put back on the factory wheels.

I don't know why they would replace just the rear bumper with the M-sport one, but not do anything with the front bumper - the rear bumpers are just not that different.

They took off the trunk lid spoiler and roof spoiler - no big deal, ezcept I can see marks on the trunk lid where the glue was.

Its a bit of a Frankenstein car, but I don't care.

Oh, and it seems like the previous owner didn't know how to drive a stick, because the car needed a new clutch at 10k miles -luckily the dealer got it done under warranty.

I'm not sure man I just gave you the link cause it looked familiar. I can only assume they did the rear M sport cause it's about 1/3 the price to do the front. Glad you got the tranny fixed and the try having the glue marks buffed out.

No, I appreciate the link - I think you are absolutely correct, it must be the same car.

I was just commenting about your previous post about the previous owner removing most of the mods before selling - it was easy for them to put the factory wheels back on, and probably carry forward the custom wheels to their next car.
