Forgive my ignorance, but how can you get a better ride with lowered stance? Don't the wheels have less travel and thus would have less space to absorb bumps?
Also, how much is the drop and is it possible to get these and NOT lower the car? I wouldn't mind a more comfortable ride, but depending on how much the drop is this could be a deal breaker for me. |

Looks great! If you had to black out your rims, would you got matte black or gloss black?

Regarding your 2nd sentence - imagine having 0 wheel travel and it should be clear that the statement as you wrote it is incorrect. |

That is a rather extreme assumption but yes my statement is correct. I don't know of anything on the road that has zero, that would be plain stupid. My answer to you is correct unless you have zero... wow?

In any case, physics aside, I perused the X3M forums where this has been out for a longer time, and most people there were seeing worse subjective comfort than stock if lowered by more than about an inch, so that'll be a good guess for X5M as well. I need to do a bit more research on installers nearby, but this will be a very tempting proposition once I switch back to summer tires. I don't know if this is me just getting used to it, but ride seems pretty nice since I've switched to winter tires. Last edited by Noneya; 12-30-2020 at 10:09 AM.. |

To those who have installed. I just moved from Orange County Socal to a lake house in South Carolina. I have a shop here that quoted me $750 for install on the MMS springs for the F96. I swear when I lowered my F85 it was $500 for install.
What are you charging or being charged for install? I feel like I walk in and $$$ signs are on my forehead. I'm in a major remodel on the home and addicted to carbon fiber so every dollar counts. Especially if my wife finds out. |
