X6M lowering springs

Hello

I just picked up a used X6M -20, the car is fantastic but the ride height is not very good. The car looks really weird.

I’ve looked at lowering springs, any recommendations? I do not want adjustable springs, I see no point in it. I am mainly looking at H&R as they’re easily available in Europe but would like some input before I order.

I don’t want to compromise the cars handling, a bit stiffer ride is not an issue.

Agreed on the fixed vs adjustable comment.

Fixed springs (non-adjustable) -
Dinan
H&R
Dahler.

All will lower about the same and add a bit of spring rate over stock.

If you’re in Europe, bottom two are likely more easily obtained.

I went with H&R, ordered today and will be fitted next week. Hope it won’t be to stiff. 😁

Buy Dinan with the additional bump stops. Just installed on my X5M and it rides perfect. Conservative drop.
