Lowering kit for new M5?

Anyone who have mounted lowering kit on the M5?
Pics on M5 with lowering springs, any?

The only aftermarket suspension I've seen so far is the Kelleners coilovers:

And the MotoGP F10 M5 Safety Car is the only one I've seen so far that's lowered (on coilovers). See the photos sets and videos @

The height on the Safety Car i think is how i want my car!! And then the blond umbrella holder looks great too:-)
AC Schnitzer for example must soon come with lowering springs, i dont want to change to coilovers. Dont want to ruin the good M5 standard comfort to much :-)

I think we'll probably see a bunch of aftermarket parts debut for the m5 at the Geneva show in a few weeks. Probably suspension options too.

We're shipping out a set of wheels to an F10 M5 tomorrow...

The car is already low enough, it looks very low and is actually very low to hit sidewalks when parking. I don't see any necessity for lowering springs to be honest.

There are a couple of companies working on Springs for the M5, but I couldn't tell you how close they are to completion.

We'll have a thread up in the classifieds section as soon as they are ready though.
