I can't seem to locate any spring kits for Touring's without self-leveling.

Any ideas?

Is there a BMW spring set, like MTech springs or something, that will lower a standard Touring?

Racing Dynamics sold them in the USA. Unfortunately, I believe a fellow forum member / touring owner grabbed their last set a year or so ago. Try ID'ng vendors on EBay.de and research for USA distributors.

Hi,

I use H&R on my NON SLS E39 Touring and with oem standard (not Sport) shocks and I've been very very happy with the ride and handling characteristics the past 5/6 years or so.

Please take a look through the 'unofficial touring thread' stickied at the top of the forum - it's more than 200 pages, however there's also plenty of discussion and products mentioned from which you can shortlist.

I'm wanting to go to coilovers at some point in the near future and I'm hoping they'll be as comfortable as I find my ride now, so most likely I'll go with BC Racing or KW V1's all round.

Cheers, Dennis!
