I'm interested in these too... Not too far but just enough to make the gaps look smaller and provide some additional stiffness.

I spoke to Eibach and they don't have anything that fits the F10 yet.

If anyone has info on the others please post. H&R is the only one that I can find real-time info on so far.

I want to know how much the springs lower the car...for those that are available.

I'm in So. Cal. if anyone has info!

Thanks!

AC Schnitzer has a lowering spring set as well. It will drop the car app. 30mm.
The set is developed specifically for the f10 with adaptive drive. Check the Schnitzer site.

http://www.ac-schnitzer.de/en/

My BMW dealership will install the set and full BMW warranty applies. I ordered it for my soon to be delivered 535d, cause I really think the car needs a drop, even on 20" rims.

Cost? About 1000 EUR all-in.

I'm having the same issue. 550ix Sport. Sits way too high. Looks silly to me. Needs desperately to be lowered. Can't find springs yet. Found some for RWD. None I can find for AWD. Help appreciated.
