I am not too sure how this guy lowered his E55. But I think he changed out the links for the airmatic sensor in order to lower the car that much.
TWS lowered my car for me. They changed out the front links and relocate the rear sensor.

Easiest method to lower your car if you don't need to lower it a lot is to ask the dealer to lower it for you by reprogramming the airmatic through Star Diagnostic.
Or you can use the method here:

Cheap and easy and you are still able to have the advantages of your airmatic (semi-active suspension, adjust the height w/ a push of a button, etc.)
If you want to lower the car more than 1.5 inch, then you got to change out the links for the sensors.
