i dont mind 'bouncy' eibach so long as its not more bouncy than stock.. im going for comfort tourer rather than handling/sports
ya, most likely will go for the H&R. just let the stock shocks die and switch to full coilovers and springs. Not much choices now anyway.

bro/law actually is a very experienced mod guy. but he is into audi and porsche, not a bimmer guy.

Is the FSD hard? with eibach or other springs? Do they 'die' quickly?
I dont mind M susp. but only 1 cm drop, i want 2cm/3cm front/rear..

Whats your opinion on the Bilstein shocks? ..

sorry for all these questions
FSD is not hard compare to bilstein. mine match with eibach. and it really depend on where you are driving. ( HK island area which you gets a harder rides or K,NT area where it is perfect where the roads surface are much better)

Bilstein PSS9. Other E60 members has it, his comment was "Perfect".

Bilstein personally, i think gives a more track spec feel.

I was thinking of matching the M-sport Shocks with aftermarket spring.

I thought about that too.. but which ones would match? hard to know without trying it..

can bilsteins be set for softer settings? maybe too hard for me

maybe will also upgrade ARBs to msport, since its not expensive.. but will try it separately, springs+shocks first, one at a time..
