(other fun car is the Porsche GT4 and coming to the dark side with BMW  . I plan on modding this X5 carbon, exhaust, tune etc... Going with the M Package 20" Wheels for now, but potentially considering the 22" wheels because the 20" just look a little small..not too sure yet.
What do I order you think?
Option 1: Stock Suspension (no M suspension add $900, no DHP) I tear it all out and go with full KW V3 Coilovers which would potentially give both a better stance and handling i presume?
Option 2: Go with the M Suspension add ($900) and go with something like H&R Springs and drop the DHP.
Option 3: Go with the M Suspension ($900) along the DHP (dealer thinks I am crazy for wanting this combo, but he is not the one driving it..... but then I would have to keep the stock ride height?
22" firm ride will come into play and I have seen another member on here with his HRE 22" setup....pretty sweet. I believe that set-up was stock suspension with coil overs? "dubsesd" I believe....
Thoughts?
thanks in advance... |
My thoughts.....
Buy a Macan or even a Cayenne, not a X5....
However.......if you're set on buying the BM, I'd stick with 20" and got for the M-Adaptive with DHP.
