I sent an email request but haven't heard anything. perhaps someone in the EU might have better luck by phone or if you're in their area, stop in and ask.

Good option I've just messaged them also

That was fast....

Good news

The wheel gap on stock X5M comp or not seems more pronounced than any other generation... It looks like it has shipping blocks installed. I don't get it. Why did BMW do this?

I think it's the 21/22 combo that gives it that look

The previous X5M had 21" all around and it did not look as tall (IMO). I had mine lowered on a conservative Dinan set up and it redefined the overall look but it was negligible.

yeah it's an SUV, as if anyone will be using it off road...

it's a sports car with a high COG...

BiGFather · 09-12-2020, 10:17 AM

Imho seems perfect. Its well designed suv. Mb buy cayenne instead. Idk whats point in lowering the suv 🤷🏻

Its designed for ride. You may affect the ride by changing it

elitex · 09-12-2020, 11:19 AM

I personally don't understand lowering an suv either. it's an suv....

Same could be said for any vehicle. Just because you are not into it doesn't make it an invalid choice. Vehicle heights are set from the factory for numerous reasons, many not having to do with performance such as government regulations.

That's why I said personally. I've lowered only 2 cars so far, 1 with H&R springs and the other with full Coilovers. with H&R, the car felt like it was undersprung, completely changed the ride for the worst. Coilovers were great but that was on a lotus.

I personally will never use just the springs to lower a car let alone an SUV. Full swap or bust for me.

Agreed

All this talk and still no one has a kit.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of h&r coilovers custom to the car
