M50i ride height with DHP

Anyway to lower the truck a bit with the DHP? I got new wheels and i notice the space a little more with the new wheels. Dont want to go with aftermarket setup because I spent the $ on the DHP and I feel like it would be a waste.

no. cheapest route is lowering springs (H&R). best route is coilovers (KWV3).

MSS adjustable springs from RG Sport. The X5M forum has tons of example pics.

I agree, I wish mine sat a tiny bit lower too. don't want to sacrifice ride quality and the benefits of the dhp.

I said screw it and lowered my 2022 with DHP on the H&R setup. I love how low the rear looks, but in my opinion the front could be a little bit lower. On smooth roads the vehicle rides about the same but on larger bumps it is definitely not as smooth. I will say that in any mode the vehicle responds a little bit sharper than it did before. Best of all it doesn't look like a lifted SUV anymore! I was very disappointed even with DHP how high it sat stock and expected it to look better/lower/sportier. Keep in mind that I am also on 23 inch wheels so my ride quality is slightly compromised compared to 22's or less.

Looks bad ass man. I think I am going install MSS coil's. I really hate to sacrifice comfort in any way in my old age of 37 haha.
