Once again it WILL sit higher. I never said anything about the engine having anything to do with it. Go and measure ride height on an M5 as compared to a 540 and you will see. I have done 2 540-m5 suspension swaps. measured both before and after, it sits higher. Did you think that I just pulled this out of my butt?

I did mention the engine as a possibilty so if it is not an engine issue what is it? the answer may help us understand more and make your point. Is it simply a higher suspension by design/default..period.

Yes it is just higher by design. Although you wouldnt think that it would be I learned this by doing the swaps that I did. Just because it sits higher doesnt mean it doesnt handle because we all know it handles amazingly. But I just wanted to warn people doing the swap that of they are doing it to lower the car then that is not the result they will get.
