I think the car is too new for any to be listed yet , but you can ping the guys at EAS and see if there is anything in the pipeline.

What kind of stuff you looking for? Some stuff like pedals, mats, etc. share with the X5.

Do you mean exterior?

A mechanic told me that BMW does not recommend lowering an X6 due to active drive.

Lowering will cause the center of gravity to change thereby changing the way active drive works.

His said the M version would have active drive but calibrated for the ride height.

I heard the same thing about active roll stabilization. if you lower thec ar, it is less effective and no longer calibrated.

Anyone else hear this?
