As my car has installed the complete BMW suspension technology the only reason was an optical aspect.
Especially with big 22" wheels it is a must. Otherwise for me it looks horrible.

If you have a look at the picture below you might understand me. Even with OEM 20" wheels and standard springs especially the gap between tire and body is too big.



But just my opinion as I do not use this car Off Road.

Have you found the springs to improve anything other than the 50i's looks, Marcus...for example, how it feels to drive it?

God bless,
Tom

There is a minimal improvement of the cornering ability in combination with dynamic drive.

But my decision was based on the optical aspect.

The ///M logo on the dials, is that AC schnitzer part? Oh, and the numbers on this care are impressive.

Thanks to the good support and the very open minded relation my car got finally the complete AC Schnitzer modification for the BMW X5 F15 (rims, suspension, exhaust system, exterior, interior and motor tuning).

Very special is the motor tuning of the 50i engine with EUR 6 emission standard. Up to now there was no solution for that new engine with TÜV approval (homolagtion) and AC Schnitzer finally has created a new motor tuning package including removal of the Vmax limit and an M instrument display for the higher max speed.

This is now the very first X5 ACS5 5.0i.
Motor tuning is based on DME programming with an performance upgrade from 450 hp to 525hp and an increase of 100 Nm torque.
Especially the huge torque increase gives a complete other feeling to overall performance of the car.

Here some first pictures.

Here is a video from my car with that exhaust system directly after installation made by the Team of AC Schnitzer. It became much more insensitivity after 500 km.
But it helps a little bit to get a first impression.

So I see you installed the x5m instrument cluster on your x5? Any issues once you got it coded?? Want to try this!

ACS now offers different exhaust tips but has pricing changed?
Curious if it is now more reasonable with the currency conversion slightly more in favor of USD.

I never liked their figure 8, infinity, snowman exhaust tips. What does the new one look like?

So much better. I guess they finally realized that their original design was not as popular

You'll be surprised on how some actually like the original design.

Then I wonder why they would change the design that is selling well.

Just more option for the market.
The original design is marketed as Race Design, while the new Quad is marketed as Sport Design.
Confused right, Haha.
I personally would do it the other way around.

How do you scratch that part? Don't you open the tailgate to load stuff?
I never personally see the stuff since I drop ship them.
Based on the picture, seems like a high grade vinyl.
You can always go to clear bra shop to get it. Or maybe check out XPEL if they have a pre-cut one.

RG, had it when I bought the car so dont know, they are minor but they are there. plus tha area catches a lot of dirt amd when cleaning is easy to scratch if not very careful to make sure its fully cleaned before wiping it down.. Dont you sell this part? Thats why I asked. Its like $145 so thats why I was asking. If its just vinyl I'll pass

Yes, I sell this part.
As I mentioned, all of them that I have sold are drop shipped directly from ACS USA, so I never seen it in person.
I don't think that it is just a plain Vinyl, because it has some texture on it.
