X5M project
Hey guys, I'm new to this website but i trust you guys and want some help on my project X5M. Im getting the meisterschaft gtc exhaust installed next week (just got the shipping conformation, never been happier), a tune most likely renntech, and i want to get it lowered, angel eyes, and some other things that i haven't decided yet. I would LOVE some input from you guys because you all know your stuff, and I am always open to new input. Just to hold you guys over, ill put up some pics of my car, I'm doing a photoshoot with it tomorrow so hopefully ill get those up sometime tomorrow night (I'm also a photographer). Thanks!!

if you want some noize. get urself aftmarket downpipes. get the h&r supersport springs with self leveling gives u 2" drop all over. dun forget the spacers, they let ur rims stand out.
ps: man, get ur rack out. they are ugly for a sporty even a truck. and the spring gonna make ur ride soooooo bumppy, cuz i just did mine yesterday. not comfortable any more.

Meisterschaft better than Akra's??? I love Scorpion's sound......
It's worth lowering and spacing the car??? I'm not considering that option, but........ Regards |

Congrats the truck looks good so far, enjoy in good health.
H&R springs and spacers will make a big difference aesthetically. Feel free to shoot me an email for more options, etc. |

This will be a nice project. Exhaust and a tune are a great start. LUX angel eyes, suspension, and wheels are also needed for any project car. For a more aggressive looking X5M, you can also add the Vorsteiner carbon fiber accessories such as hood, front lip, and rear diffuser. Here are some images of what those look like.

i did ask couple of people in mod shop. they said kw v3 coil over is for "cars", not trucks. you wont even feel a lot on the truck and it gonna be 4G you spend on it.

I've been hearing that the HR drop completely ruins ride quality. I drive almost 100 miles a day so i kind of like the ride quality to be good. Has anyone heard anything about the dinan suspension?
