Hey guys I'm looking for a decent set of coilovers to throw on my 525i and my boy recommended NNR full coilovers for the E39. They are normally $600 but right now on sale for only $350 with free shipping which is a great deal BUT I wanted to do some research first and see if anyone has ever tried them or knows anyone who has that set up? If so could you let me know how they are and if they would be decent enough to use for a year or so until I get some better ones... Thanks for ur help! I'm dying to drop my car! Lol

What are some good coil overs that you'd recommend? I want good quality but nothing crazy expensive...

Oh no not at all i just said the NNR Coilovers are on sale for $350 from $600 but i'm definitely not saying $350 is all i'm willing to spend! i was just curious to see what some good coil over choices are and also if i went with springs, what is a good set up you would recommend?? i'm new to this lol

Actually, from what I've seen in some cases, NNR coilovers work pretty good for people with E39s with I6s, and for those with V8s the weight has caused them more problems I guess. I'm most likely going with NNRs myself, seeing as they should be fine for me since I'm not going to be tracking my car or anything.

Of course, at the same time, it seems like you have an M-sport car, which means your suspension is lower to begin with. For me being a non-sport, my suspension makes me feel like I'm driving an X5.
