Dude big time...those tires look awful beefy now! gotta do something about that.
when i switched to the conti DWS they had the same effect, so i switched back to the bridgestones!

car looks a little to murdered out in the wheel dept for my taste
i bet its still fast though

Thanks for posting the weight, good info. How does your X5 feel with all that unsprung weight savings?

Conti DWS

Conti DWS

The most significant difference is in the ride harshness but that is mostly due to the non-RFT Conti DWS. The Conti definitely improve the ride tremendously, gone are the harsh impact absorption of the Bridgestone.

I had an 07 X5 4.8 with AD and Dunlop 20" DSST before taking delivery of the X5M. My X5M came with Bridgestone Dueler. First impression after taking delivery of the X5M was that the X5M have a looser rebound comfort/normal setting on the AD (compared to my 07 X5 4.8 AD). That plus the stiffer Bridgestone made the ride of the X5M on comfort setting of the AD on bumpy road feels loose (to much uncontrolled body movement). I actually prefer the comfort setting on my 07 X5 4.8. I also much prefer the Dunlop DSST compared to the Bridgestone Dueler RFT.

One thing though I notice on the Conti is that it does not have the cornering grip of the Dueler or the Dunlop. Taking 90° turn aggressively, the fronts squeals more than the RFT OEM.

The unsprung weight saving? In term of acceleration, I probably noticed the X5M accelerates with less effort but at more than 5000lbs it is not night and day ;-).

After I install this front spoiler, I am going to get back some of the weight back (4lb of non-unsprung weight)

awdnut · 03-25-2013, 06:24 PM

Got 4lb of the weight back

Damnnn lookin good. I've been wanting to paint the rear diffuser black too, but as with all my other plans, I'm too lazy to do it right now. I want to vinyl it but I know it'll melt. Ill probably try the black mirrors since I have the vinyl laying around. I always thought it kinda gave the car ears... But I'm liking it on the X5. Good job with the rims and lip too. Amazing stuff

awdnut · 03-28-2013, 01:49 PM

Got to add 0.1lb back due to this bigger paddles

Tom at EAS installed these on my car. I like these bigger paddles, especially the slight curvature on them (second pic)

turbologist · 03-29-2013, 01:34 PM

Very nice. Any plans on dropping it?
