Check it out! Lowered X5M

[Forster]

Hey Guys, Figured its about time I post some pictures of my ride. 2011 X5M bought it stock back in sept. CPO with 14k miles on it. Just about done putting all her goodies on for now. Let me know what you think. Shes lowered on H&R springs and rear links. 12mm spacers up front and 20mm in the rear. Any questions..feel free to ask and comments appreciated. I'm in love with this big girl

looks really amazing! how does it drive with the spacers on? I want to purchase the same spacer setup for mine but am not sure if it will cause vibration at high speed or not

Congrats!

Hey can I ask a couple questions?

1) What's your avg mpg?
2) Do you mind disclosing the deal you got for an '11 CPO 14K miles?
3) What's your thoughts on the turbo lag?

Thanks and great pics!

Angel eyes are the updated LuxV3, painted front reflectors and black tinted side lenses from IND, black emblem stickers from bimmian, and carbon fiber kidney grills from Turner Motorsports; just about finish off the mod list..

I find the it drives fine with the spacers on, I don't notice any high speed vibration. I would recommend H&R spacers, I've never had any issues with them.

Hmm, avg mpg is low, I don't check very often but I'm gunna say its about 13-16mpg if that. Next time I'm in the car I'll check forsure but I romp on this truck all the time so I know its baadd, Lol.
I got the truck for about 84k asking price and warranties brought it up from there.
Turbo lag is there but I don't find it noticable in a negative way. As long as the truck is in its right setting, (M sport manual mode) downshift and you take the f**k off

I'll be honest with you, its bad compared to stock. With springs I'm bouncing around when the bumps are there. I plan on eventually getting V3 KW coils. In the mean time these work just fine. To me, its worth the bumpy ride to have the lowered stance.

Noo & no, the emblems are simply black stickers that cover the blue. I got them from bimmian.com. You can find them in almost any color on their website..
