X5 35d lowered. Bumpstops

o-blian · 07-30-2021, 12:34 AM

Hi. I've recently lowered my X5 with 1.2 h&r lowering springs. The car is sitting on the stock bumpstops and ride is bouncy.
Can anyone help me? Which bumpstops should I use or do I need to cut oem BS?
Thanks

Cut the first small nub of the bumpstop off.

Alternative route if you want new bumpstops is to use the F10 M5 bumpstops.

These are for active suspension only?

Here is my feedback on the M5 comp bump stops on E70 lowered with h&r 1.2 springs :
They won't work on normal suspension (non-active)
My setup is :
-KYB front struts (new ones)
Rear lowered with links @67mm, KYB struts, medium OEM bumpstops, self leveling airbags in good condition

With M5 comp bumpstops, the car sits on them, ride is bouncy.
I went reverse to the normal (OEM) BS with the small nub cut (easy with a thin blade)

Ride is better, no bounce, I have approximatively 1/2 inch of travel when the car sits before the strut hits the bumpstops.

Hope that will help someone, sorry for my english!
