Thank you so much for getting the images!!!!

It looks great, but I have a question do you know if it is possible to lower even more? Not much but say 10mm more or so?

drop looks perfect. still some clearance for being an SUV but definitely cleans up the gap and odd stance.

how does ride quality compare?

Just got an ETA on the kit.
It will be launched early November and ready to ship by Mid-November.
I will have a set installed to local customer.
So, I will do a write up once I have them installed and tested for a few days. :)

Also, I will announce when I can start taking pre-order on them.

Any idea on pricing? I'm looking to line up an installer.. Don't think I will have time to drive to CA to have you perform the install. That's why looking for a ball park for price, I had one installer tell me 1200 to install that's just labor..... UM noooo.

Awesome thanks, I might seriously consider it if I can get some exhaust work done at the same time. Knock a few things out at once.

Secondary cat delete is available now.
I just haven't got a chance to put things together.

PM me the cost for the cat delete. is it bolt on or do you have to cut the pipes?

It is a bolt-on setup.
Just PM you the price. :)

This looks great. There will be a lot of happy X5M owners out there. The static suspension wheel gap on X5 & X5M are way too big.

Small update

We've done some more miles in our development vehicle and been impressed with improved comfort.

Big difference is the vehicle doesn't dive like it did under harder braking.

Turn in has also been improved.

I've attached some 50/50 photos again.

Looking forward to testing on the track next week 🤪

Looks Fantastic.
Is the ride more softer, the same or harder than the original?
10-27-2020
i can't wait to hear your full review. Call me crazy but after lowering the car it makes the wheels look less strange being staggered 21"/22". I actually don't mind it at all once its dropped.

The ride is softer which is better.

I used to leave vehicle in comfort all the time.

Now I use Sport and sport plus now.

Completely agree, the drop is tasteful and functional still. This imo is how the F95/96 should left the factory.

I do agree the staggered wheels looks hidden.
10-27-2020
looks good ... tasteful, as you say. and, more comfortable isn't a bad thing, although i can live with the ride in comfort setting. all looking good, so just need this pesky covid lancashire lockdown to get sorted for the trip down to swindon :thumsup:

What is this in red circle?

I was wondering the same thing. I first thought it was a new jack pad point, but the jack point is behind it.

That low hanging chassis brace that BMW put.
You should see it on your X5M / X6M.
