Nice! I took the X5 to the slopes today and averaged 30 mpg over 180 miles to the slopes and back with a fully loaded car and 3 passengers.

getting my eibach springs for m adpative suspension next week. i will post with phots and review once i get them installed. the ACS setup is literally double the price for the same springs. eibach makes their damn springs! haha. the drop is around 25mm up front and links in the rear and im not sure how the stiffness of the springs differ from the ACS setup but we will see!

For other BMW cars, the ACS springs offer a more mild drop than the eibach. ACS probably requests their spring be made to offer a more subtle drop

The spring rate could be different between the two.

dubsesd · 02-29-2016, 06:46 AM

Perhaps. The acs drop is rated at the same, but spring rates might differ. I had eibach on my last non air level x5 and the ride was great. I was very happy so we will see how these turn out. I really don't want to dump it and destroy the ride. This is a family car afterall

First warm(ish) day of the year on the beach at The Old Course, St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. (well, the car park behind the beach)

Im guessing you are close by....saw some pics from you that i recognize.

It looks eerily like Irvine. Yep I live in Irvine as well. This place is turning into X5-heaven that it's necessary to do some cosmetic modding to stand out a bit!

Mr. Kzang, nice pix!! Wonder what spacers would do for the stance ( like the shot from the rear)?

Thanks for the positive feedback all! MW is a gorgeous color! Don't change it

Spectacular. One of the nicest rigs Kzang. Colour is awesome. Do you have your summers on? I just changed the winters on the Jeep to my summers and we just got a major dump.

Kzang · 03-01-2016, 06:35 PM

Honestly, I kept my summers on all winter here with zero issues.

We haven't had much of a winter that's for sure. I might change them on our X5 in a couple of weeks. Again, the X5 looks amazing.

Kzang · 03-01-2016, 08:09 PM

Most Definitely! Winter was mild this year, so I lucked out!

Thanks for the compliments X54TH !
