@2tek here's how it currently sits with Koni's and Eibach OE. The one in the garage is with Koni's and Eibach. The one outside is with Eibach / blown shocks and you can see the rear sags. The one in the garage has a nice strong stance.

nice comparison! you can totally see the weight of the vehicle with the blown shock is pretty much sitting all that weight on the springs without the help of the shocks. what a difference!

Another 13 months left on mine. Car is booked in for OEMs on Friday. Will see how long the OEMs last with ACS from new. I hope BMW just change the shocks only and not attempt to do the entire coilovers. |

I think you can use M Sport Springs and possibly Dinan. A big maybe on the Dinan. M Sport Springs almost 100% certain.

Nice review and DIY. I had the Dinan S3 suspension on my E60 545 which used Koni shocks as well. It was an amazing set up, loved the way the car handled, felt like it was on rails and was not bouncing around. I agree that switching the shocks to match the springs is the way to go.

Ok plenty of driving time behind me now and I have to say the best configuration on the N55 IMHO is
Front 1 - 1/4 turns up from soft Rear 1 - 3/4 turns up from soft Perfectly absorbs road anomalies of all sizes low and high speeds with sportiness. At high speeds rebound on large dips it has a very quick recovery, again in sports like fashion. Please keep in mind that I have Eibach OE springs, M5 sways on a 3900+ lbs car. This may vary for others depending on weight and suspension on their platform.
