Thanx, glad to share them anyway.
Prices are now within reach, especially these S54s...however, do look out for one with good service record.
It does not mean an unreg 2006 will give you a peace of mind as they are coming to at least 6yrs. Normal wear & tear should kick in.
Don't just drool, make it happen mate and live your dream ride now!

Stocking these up for the E90. Did not go with the 'yellow' springs as I might go with H&R in the future.
BMW Performance Group Shocks are a factory upgrade to BMW Sport and Non-sport suspension. This set is designed for the same or lower than factory sport springs so you can use Eibach or H&R for a setup that is more comfortable than using Bilstein and Koni shocks, yet more controlled and not bouncy like factory shocks are with higher spring rates typical in after-market springs. These shocks can also be used with the factory sport suspension for an improved ride quality and handling (factory sport is bouncy by comparison). These shocks are better than BMW M sport shocks.
This set also includes new sway bar bushings for the front along with all the hardware and new shock bump stops front and rear. It also includes spring perch pads.
This kit fits all E90 and E92. E90 with Sport suspension already installed 6/2006 and newer is a direct swap.

interesting...
i always thought they either comes in black/dark blue or the red sport version.
mine are like the above not as BLUE as yours. I wonder if there's a different specs to them. Part number on them are different as well.

after learning to brake 'damn' hard during the intensive course...these would come in real handy on the M.
Brembo Gran Turismo Big Brake System
The Brembo Gran Turismo High Performance Braking System offers significant advantages over the OE manufacturer's system — advantages far beyond what's simply known as "big brakes". As the braking system's primary function is to dissipate heat, larger, more sophisticated discs are used in order to increase the fade resistance of the system. These discs are directionally vented for enhanced cooling, as well as drilled or slotted for improved consistency, continuously cleaning and refreshing the pad surface.
In most applications, a two-piece "floating" disc assembly is used, with a cast—iron disc specially mounted to a billet aluminum hat. One of the advantages of this type of construction is reduced weight. By making the center-section of the disc out of aluminum, a great deal of weight can be saved in a key location, as it is both unsprung and rotating. The greatest advantage, however, lies in the float itself. The brake discs must cope with extreme temperature levels. In the case of a non-floating disc, thermal stresses develop which lead to warping of the disc and cupping of the braking surface. With the full floating system, the disc is free to grow relative to the bell, and can remain straight and true.
On nearly all the vehicles for which there is a Gran Turismo system available, the OEM caliper is of a sliding design, with the piston or pistons on only the inboard side of the disc. While this type of caliper is inexpensive to manufacture, it is generally extremely heavy, and inherently flexible, both of which are to be avoided on a performance braking system. Conversely, Brembo's calipers are fixed mount, opposed piston calipers cast from aluminum alloy. Despite being much larger and many times stiffer than the original caliper, they are also much lighter. The calipers are equipped with differential piston bores in order to eliminate pad taper. Without this feature, the leading edge of the pad will wear more quickly. This can cause problems such as cocking the pistons in their bores, which can damage or seize them.
Each Gran Turismo system comes with high performance brake pads, aircraft quality hardware, DOT and TÜV— approved Goodridge stainless steel braided brake lines, instruction manual and dye cut stickers for your car.
The net result is a braking system, developed specifically for each vehicle application by Brembo's immense technical resources, that insures high quality as well as high performance.

I found out the difference between those 2.
The BLUE one you got is : H&R Super Sport Springs
- Lowers 1.75 - 2.3” on average
- Provides superior ride and maximum lowering
And the one I'm using, the darker blue/black one is: H&R Sport Springs
- Lowers 1.5 - 1.8” on average
- Superb ride quality
Hence, the difference in ride height & part number.
