I didn't measure the wheel gap before/after but it definitely close to an inch and a half I would imagine. I had my alignment done after a few weeks and maybe 200 miles or so. I'm lucky if I drive the truck 100 miles a week though. The coils are on the west setting?

Hey guys, any feedback on the MSS since it was installed? Its been a little over a month now. Does it sit better now?

[FiveOTree]

Bump. Interested in updates post 500 miles

[NateM50i]

I'm also interested to hear!

[NateM50i]

I will have my MSS Urban springs this Thursday. I'm going to see if Butler Tire will install them.

[NateM50i]

Springs will be here tomorrow. Plan on getting them done at Bremen Autowerks in Suwanee, GA.

It tucks my 23's really well. I rolled the dice with them and didn't go down in tire profile when I upsized my new wheels, but they haven't rubbed at all yet - front or rear. I'm running 325/30/23 Pirelli's on the rear and 285/35/23 on the front. Loving the new look!

Thinking about doing the same to my 40i. Did you have any issues with clunking or squeaking after driving it for a while? I had lowered my x4m on two different kits (not H&R) and had issues with both.

I did after the H&R install but it was an improperly torqued bolt on the lower arm. Once that was resolved, so far so good. Very happy.

Very nice looking I have these on order and my dilemma for ordering. These is more of the ride quality is too soft. I feel the car has a lot of body roll . Do you think this will take care of the problem?

[Sethsubzero]

Mine has DHP so no body roll before or after. Ride comfort did change a hood bit though with the springs. Not sure I’ll be doing them on my 2024 M60i.

No issues with sound but rude comfort was compromised some. Not sure I’ll be doing them to my 2024 M60i on order.

[swainbmw]

Do you think the HR springs help any ? If so it what way. Maybe it’s me the X5 is two luxury / comfort not sport enough too much body roll and contemplating whether to put these on or just sell it honestly, I like the way my Toyota Tacoma with the fox suspension rides better .

Just had mine installed and made a world of difference for me. Ride quality is great and just stiff enough.

Off topic, but what front splitter is that? And what color car? I like both. Thanks.

Had H&R lowering springs installed today. Overall drop was 1.25 inches. Ride quality is great with just a bit more stiffness (also went from 20"s to 22"s at the same time). There doesn't seem to be as much body roll during cornering which is great. Overall, very happy so far with the change.

Holly Smokes she looks sooooo GOOD. Nice work. I have the same color and all the same parts in route (22" Vossen black wheels, rear wing, mirror caps, front splitter) awesome to get a glimpse of what my own car will look like in a month or so!

What tires did you go with for your 22" wheels?

Thanks! You will love it. I can't believe how the mods have transformed both the looks and driving feel/handling of the X5. It feels so much more planted to the road and I don't feel like it wallows in the turns nearly as much now. The ride is just right. Compliant without feeling mushy or too harsh.

I bought the 22"s used from someone locally. They have Conti summer tires on it now. I will likely go with the Arroyo Grand Sport All Seasons later this summer. I also have a set of black HRE FF10's in 22" on backorder so haven't decided whether I'll cancel that order, keep both sets, etc. I'm leaning towards selling the 20" M-Sports that came with the car and keeping the 742s and FF10s but we'll see.

Looks great! Are you running spacers? If so, what size?
