H&R VTF Adjustable Lowering Springs

I know that some parts are interchangeable between the E70 X5 M and the F85. Was wondering if anyone knows if the H&R VTF springs would fit on an E70 X5 M. As far as I know, H&R doesn't make an adjustable spring kit marketed specifically for the E70.

If these don't fit I'll just end up getting the H&R 2" kit with some F10 M5 bump stops but having the ability to adjust would be nice.


Here is an example of the kit:

Bump. I'd be totally down for them as well.

I'm contemplating between H&R's regular and sport springs. Leaning towards going with the 1.2" drop only because I'm nervous about the ride quality hit of the 2", even with getting the rear links adjusted just right.

OP - what are your intuitions there?

If the VTF don't fit I'm getting the 2" kit. I drove a slammed car on coils for years so I'm used to avoiding potholes and sacrificing ride quality for handling.

I think when most people say it feels bouncy with the 2" kit they mean stiff. When I think bouncy I think Honda Civic with cut springs...
