Your questions have been discussed in detail in multiple different threads, so please search and read before posting

Q1: fender flares, dealership sells them, they are OEM
Q2: yes it is lowered, common choice is H&R or Dinan, if you don't have air springs on the back, than you can use ebiach as well. The only full suspension setup that replaces the shocks and springs is KW V3

There is an off brand Taiwanese company that makes a full on coilover, but quality and comfort is probably not up to par of KW, though its much lower in cost.

Which one have the air springs on the back?

It's a BMW X5 4.8i 2007


Air Spring or No-Air Spring = work with H&R Spring?


I'm waiting the answer.. is the X5 3.0i have the same suspension as the 4.8i ?

You are still asking questions that have been asked and answered over and over on this forum and others. There is a search feature that is actually quite helpful.

Air bags = self leveling suspension. This came on 3rd row equipped X5's, as well as other models for which I've never fully understood why (it was not an 'option' but I have seen many X5's with the self leveling suspension that do not have the 3rd row). If you don't know if you're vehicle has it, run your VIN through a decoder.

He has been all over places on this forum. from x6m to x5m, wanted to know which one should he take, and now to 30i. I am totally confused and not even sure if he has done any research on BMW. Really strange.
