I have a 2013 535xi. Just installed them on Saturday. Based on what I see from others, mine seems to be sitting much lower in the front then others. handling is great but not sure I can handle the pot holes and bumps with the height at the fronts much longer.

Any recommendations?

Sorry to drift off the op but did you end up getting the roof done with jason? if so how it came out?? I couldnt make it with you since i got held up at with a meeting

No. Dudes always backed up but really good so worth the wait. I have a scheduled appt with him for this Sat. He is doing the roof plus the 2 long side pieces for $230.

Your drop is exactly what I want. Im looking to do H&R springs.
Maybe you got the race version and not the sprt?
You have the part number to compare?

Looks great though

That the way the front and rear are supposed to be looking. I have the HR also and can't complain. As for the street bumps I always have to take them slow otherwise I feel the BANG big time. Good choise congrats

I wish my front were as low as your front. Seems like some of springs come lower than others

Are you sure you have the correct springs and not springs for a 550 or a 535i (non XI) ?? It does seem a tad low. I have H&Rs on my 535i and its not that low. I know the H&Rs do lower the 550s a tad more towards, just like the look of your car. My car rides great, smooth not harsh at all! Something is not right. Either incorrect springs, incorrect install or you are bottoming out on the bump stops. The car should not ride that harsh with those springs. Something is not right.

This is how my car sits on the H&Rs. But mine is a non Xdrive (different part# springs)

Oh my dude, you havent seen my recent thread. After getting your first reply I went and investigated myself and found that the install was wrong. They had the front in the rear and rear in the front llol. Went back this past Saturday and they made it right. Now I LOVE MY H&R's. Thanks to you and the rest of the guys on here for pointing me in the right direction.

Oh nice! I totally missed that post. I am glad you got it sorted out and enjoying the car now!

That looks right to me. I have the same springs. I just measured my drop. With 20 inch wheels the center of Oem m sport front spoiler is 5.75 inches to the ground. I love my springs
