X6M AC Schnitzer - Lowering Spring Set vs. Dinan vs. Other

I'm looking for a Lowering Spring Kit for my new 2017 X6M. So far I've seen Dinan has a kit, similar to what I have in my M3 and then AC Schnitzer has a set.

Are there any other Manufactures that have an offering for the 2017 X6M and what do you recommend?

Thank You

Thank You
I have sold a lot of AC Schnitzer spring to X5's and I never got a single complaint.
Dinan spring should also be good.
The only difference is the amount of drop.
Ride quality should be about the same.
If you want the best ride with flexible ride height, I suggest KW V3 coilover.

With the KW do you lose the Spring Control Options (Comfort, Sport, and Sport Plus)?

yes, EDC will be off. KW delivers a module which deactives EDC but KW is although comfortable.

I am dropping my car this week to get ACS springs on and 22"install. Will be happy to post pics and give you feedback. I decided to go with ACS as it seems to be very little/to none change in riding comfort.

I installed the Dinan springs and I'm very happy with the ride. Very negligible ride difference. I didn't want it to look too slammed, so the H&Rs weren't considered.

Ben installed the ACS springs in my X5 and so far they have been great. I really like the ride and the drop, while subtle, made the car look really good.

Pictures of the before and after look with ACS vs. Stock . Also, do anyone have pictures of Dinan springs? I'm in the market. Those with Dinan springs did you install the bumper stop as well or just springs?

Running Pirellis Scorpion Zero (335/25R22 and 295/30R22) like most of the board members here I believe. I got them locally, back in December they were out of stock, but I believe TireRack has them.

Yes, they still work. Although the difference is not as noticeable. I find the car perfect, very firm and planted and not really bouncy unless you drive through really bad roads.
