Part No. 28548-1 drops the front ride height approximately 25mm (about 1 inch) while preserving OEM ride comfort and factory suspension geometry. Because the M60 xDrive uses rear air suspension, this kit includes front springs only. The rear of the vehicle continues to use the OEM air springs, which already provide adjustable ride height control. H\u0026amp;R engineers each spring using cold-wound techniques and a progressive rate design so the reduced ride height improves the car's visual stance and handling response without introducing a harsh ride or clunking over expansion joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront-specific lowering springs engineered for M Sport suspension equipped i5 models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 25mm (1 inch) front ride height reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with vehicles equipped with factory rear air suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgressive spring rate maintains ride comfort while reducing body roll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold-wound German manufacturing for consistent spring rate and long-term durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrosion-resistant coating protects against road salt and moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetains factory suspension travel and geometry within H\u0026amp;R design tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-on installation using OEM mounting points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTrim\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2024-2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBMW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ei5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM60 xDrive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2025-2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBMW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ei5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003exDrive40\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number (MPN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHRS28548-1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer Part No.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28548-1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH\u0026amp;R\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePosition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLowering Amount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 25mm (1 inch)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuspension Requirement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM Sport suspension required; compatible with rear air suspension\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGermany\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published by manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x H\u0026amp;R front lowering springs (HRS28548-1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH\u0026amp;R installation guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout H\u0026amp;R\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eH\u0026amp;R has manufactured performance springs and suspension components in Germany since 1979.

Since the rear ride height is controlled electronically by the factory air suspension, H\u0026amp;R designed HRS28548-1 as a front-only kit that pairs with the OEM rear air springs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this spring set fit an i5 without M Sport suspension?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This spring set requires the factory M Sport suspension setup.
