Are the coilovers specifically for the X5M or taken from the normal X5 application? Any mods necessary? I would assume the load rating is the same.

Truck looks great! Definitely on my list of "Must do" mods.

It is specifically for the X5M! Yes it is a great mod!

Can I get some input on ride quality for the V3s? Considering a drop but need to make some decisions about what sort of ride quality I'm willing to consider (say, versus a spring drop). Thanks

Powerbeast · 01-25-2016, 11:42 PM

Can you go any lower then pictured above?

It is a night and day difference and you will not look back. With that said Springs are not horrible, just not as aggressive and not as comfortable. I will go out on a limb and say V3's are superior to the factory ride.

Yes, two turns on the front sir. We currently have it all the way down. Spoke to Sam about it a bit but I think you already decided to go this route just wanted to get your questions answered. Car looks great as usual.

Best,

Don't drive with those wheel in Washington DC. You'll get a cracked rim in no time.

I'm usually not too much into dropping and aftermarket wheels, but gotta admit this setup is sick. Not too low, great wheels. Nice work.

Dont really dig the yellow fog lights, but to each his own.

bimmin · 02-03-2016, 12:54 PM

Looks trashy. Also, advertisements should not be considered "top stories".

Car22 · 02-03-2016, 12:58 PM

Unique. Looks great!

m5 guy · 02-03-2016, 01:24 PM

Looks awesome guys! Glad to see the company that supported the e70 X5M the most get first dibs for the new one.

Action JacksonE92 · 02-03-2016, 01:48 PM

Reminds me of the first gen SRT Jeep Cherokee at the side view. Very nice though.

Ray knight · 02-03-2016, 01:54 PM

Hmmm.... i actually think it looks a lot better stock.

Mik3ymomo · 02-03-2016, 01:57 PM

Wow this turned out amazing!

TheVazha · 02-03-2016, 01:59 PM

A+++. Super clean.

SeG9n7Rf58pagQt3 · 02-03-2016, 02:18 PM

Drop dead gorgeous.

Nebraska330xi · 02-03-2016, 02:31 PM

Side view looks like an XL E9x X1. Looks better than I would have thought, brings out the wagonness. It's easy to make dropped and DUB SUVs look like trash.
