2018 X5 (F15) sDrive 35i lowering

[2018F15JW]

Hi all,

I purchased a "New to me" sDrive and would like to lower it a little bit to reduce the wheel gap & body roll. I have been searching for a set of springs or Coilovers, but cannot seem to find anything for an sDrive.... I am only wanting to come down about 1-1.5" all around. Does anyone have any suggestions or know where I can actually find something for the RWD? Thanks!

I would send a PM to Ben @ RG Sport, he's one of the vendors here and sells a wide range of springs and coils for this platform, he'll know what your options are.

Thanks! I shot him a PM. Hopefully he will be able to assist!

I just dropped my sdrive with Ben, coilovers all around and rides sooo much better!

That's the option I am seriously considering....were there any other parts you needed to gain a good alignment? Or are the factory ranges enough? I would probably set them at about 1.5" drop all around as we just put 22's and need to eliminate some of the fender gap.

What brand of coilover did you go with?

Went with KW's, will do a review here shortly. Max dropped all around, rides amazing.

Turn in slop gone, body roll massively reduced, still a good ride a bit tighter but not too noticeable. No rebound problem either compared to just lowering with springs and leaving stock struts. I did this with a 335 and 535, coilovers huge difference.

Also threw on 15mm/20mm spacers

I wonder if they will start leaking as soon as mine did on 335 years ago.
