H&R vs Eibach springs?
Ok so I want to lower the car a bit, not much, I have 20's on it now so I don't want to go crazy low. its a 2010 535i with sport package
I do not want to sacrifice ride comfort too much and I don't want to blow a crap load of money either. I know I am asking for too much. If I did springs only, which one of these 2 would give me the better ride quality and a nice lowered aggressive look?

I heard Eibachs are a tad softer, but no personal experience. I have H&Rs an they lowered my car .75". I was very pleased with the result, but in retrospect i should have spent more money and gone for full coilovers. It is way better than the stock springs though. I paid $250 for the H&Rs.

.75" drop would be perfect, I don't need or want anymore than that.
Coilovers are so much money lol.

Xdrive and RWD with sport have different stock ride heights. The Xdrive sits much higher.
I have yet to hear of a satisfied Xdrive owner who lowered with springs. They all revert to the original oem suspension or invest in coilovers. The Xdrive suspension set-up is just different, so research carefully before doing anything. I recently drove a 535Xi Touring with KW V3 coilovers. Just amazing. It was lowered 1 inch. Huge improvement all the way around.

Coil overs are so much I agree. the cheapest setups are around 25...

A friend of mine found a set of KW V3s online for his E61. $2,200 plus $600 labor. Car is TRANSFORMED! No comparison.
