G05 BBM lowering links, full install + pics + measurements

DJM4 · 02-07-2024, 05:46 PM

I am having trouble adjusting to the sport mode suspension or lack of on the 2024 X5 sDrive40i. How do these links work on a 2024 X5 sDrive40i?

Did you install at recommended heights? Or a little lower

How do you clear the chassis code?

PSA 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.

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 😬

It should be 1.25” lower from stock.
If you are going with KW, I do suggest the coilover.
Installed a few KW HAS locally, it doesn’t ride as good as MSS.

Has anyone needed to lower their headlight beam after install? I've been getting 'flashed' by oncoming traffic more frequently.
