Time to get some paint on them rusted caliper covers! Lol. I just painted mine to help prevent that. Also clear coated my rear rotor hubs but they're already covered in rust after three multi day rain storms.

All the benefits of factory ///M engineering but the looks of OEM+. I do not have any complaints and more important is the fact that my passengers do not either. In other cars I own(ed) once I deviated from factory height the looks improved but the ride quality decreased and passenger comfort with it. This is the perfect balance of fashion and function. IMO.

I wonder how much the ride and handling pieces make that difference between other aftermarket springs. Correct travel is important |

i had acs springs on my 50i (factory equipped with m-sport & m-adaptive etc.) with the stock bump stops... it was a good mix as well but slightly more bounce and nose dive. i'll report back after next road trip. have about 1200 miles mapped out so should be a good comparison since i did a nearly identical trip in my last X5M, the 50i, E70 X5M and E70 48i. all modified similarly.

can someone with a 50i measure their fender to center of center cap distance? I just installed my dinan springs and to me it looks the same, no drop?
