Thank you for your business.
silverstar335 wrotePSA to everyone using the BBM links, I too lost a link (left front) this week. Make sure to do regular visual inspections to see if they're backing out.My rear BBM link got disconnected, car threw a chassis code, the packaged M6x35mm threaded rods are not long enough. I went ahead and bought a set of M6x50mm threaded rods from Amazon and then used a Dremel to cut them to 42mm.
How do you clear the chassis code?
gixxerboy63 wroteIt should be 1.25â lower from stock.You M50i guys are lucky to be able to accomplish this with your air ride. I installed MSS adjustable lowering springs to my X5M and it still doesn't go as low... I guess my next step is having to go to KWs đŹ
If you are going with KW, I do suggest the coilover.
Installed a few KW HAS locally, it doesnât ride as good as MSS.
CreedonQV wroteIt's really more aesthetic since the valving of the shocks is determined by the mode it's in but it definitely has less travel when it's lower so bumps are much more stiffer.Does this improve the handling or is it just an asthectical thing?
Mr.Pringle wrotePerfect stance ! Do you have spacers ?Thank you so much for this post! So much help! Just did mine!
One inch drop all round
nate196 wroteYes I would say you for sure need spacers when even if you donât lower it.Perfect stance ! Do you have spacers ?
Canât remember the size I had here since now I have hamman arches and bigger spacers.
r33_RGSport have you had any scenarios where the height of the car keeps changing after the links have been installed ?I have a set of mode concept links installed and the height keeps changing (2024 X5 M60i). Car is currently leaning as its lower on one side. All links are hand tightened appropriately with a spanner.
Thinking of swapping them out for a set of your ones.
haomap wroteNo, I never had such an issue.

Is it only lowering on 1 side? Does it go back up to even when you start the car?
r33_RGSport wroteSo overall the car has lowered as part of the mode links install. After driving around for a few days is when it seems to become lower on one side.No, I never had such an issue.

At time of install, the car is even.
Whatâs also strange is. On the side that is low. It ranges from 710mm to 690mm. So the low side can get even lower. It doesnât stay at 710mm. Im not sure if the other side exhibits the same behaviour but I havenât noticed it.

Could be set to low and damage the air suspension.
r33_RGSport wroteCan you please elaborate what you mean by âset to low and damage the air suspension?âYou may want to check your air suspension.

Do you mean I could damage it if I put in park mode? At the moment it wonât let me get to park mode. I get the chassis error. This would be when it sits at 690mm (I think).
Iâve got a set of your links coming with install on Tuesday. Iâm hoping this fixes it.
haomap wroteSounds like your links setting is set for too much of a drop.Can you please elaborate what you mean by âset to low and damage the air suspension?â

Most likely your air suspension is damaged, thatâs what I think is the cause of one side is lower than the other.
r33_RGSport wroteThanks for clarifying. I hope thatâs not the case but I will test with the original links if the problem persists after I trial your ones.Sounds like your links setting is set for too much of a drop.
