X5 M Competition Detail / PPF
Thought I'd share my F95 X5 M Competition.
Had the car since July (Actually 2nd one, first got delivered in June) We're currently working with MSS to develop a lower spring kit Watch this space!

Watching this with interest on Instagram - lowering looks good - is it 50mm?

I found on stock suspension we only used in comfort, hoping with the MSS we can finally use the other 2 settings.

Does this mean the MSS suspension will be softer than stock?

My personal opinion was the stock springs were too stiff but we have options to change spring rates if customers like stiffer. We're running the MSS kit on our M2C and was surprised how good the ride was when lowered (better than stock) but when used, the performance was there. We will be testing this on track in November.

Yikes, this got me a bit worried. I enjoy the current suspension and think it is a great compromise. I'm working to start tracking from time to time once I get through all the schooling and find a spot I can put a heavy ride on. I would hate to sacrifice for softness but really want it lower!!! Keep us posted and honest feedback what's good what's bad.

The great bit about MSS is springs rates can be spec'd. We're collecting the vehicle Tuesday and intend to carry on testing and put our own honest review on the kit. I didn't use Sport/Sport plus suspension modes. Hoping now we can finally enjoy the adaptation suspension.

As promised I've collected the vehicle from MSS today.
I've attached a couple pictures and 50/50 photo. We're testing the product and excited to be working with MSS.

This is how the X5MC should have came stock. Someone at bmw needs to voice out M cars should have the proper ride height to go along with handling/looks. Audi/Porsche/Merc all have lower stock ride heights than BMW's!
Really curious to hear your review on these. Particularly around: Any noises/clunks over light to hard bumps? Any bouncing over high speed dips? How has the ride quality changed from stock? Any change in how the steering feels? Thanks! Alan

Very interested to see your review of the driving characteristics. Is that a 1 inch drop? Will you be doing springs for the M50i as well?
