Really? That's not good. Hopefully its common hardware! I'm so glad I found the aero kit cause the x5 doesn't look bad, it just needs a little bit of flare and I think this kit does that very nicely.

The shop installed the coil-overs but I had to put the aero kit installation on hold for 2-3 weeks. The local body shop wanted a little more than what I wanted to spend so Im taking it to another shop I deal with.
I drove the X this morning and was impressed! I was expecting the ride to be horrible (I always assume the worst with these things) but it felt just a tad bit firmer and better than my wife's E90 haha. I drove for about 10 minutes and local streets only. The shop is actually going to adjust the height a bit higher once we get the wheel studs and spacers on. Then I need to drive to let it break in, and then align and re-adjust to my liking. I think that 19" wheels with doofy tires (or proper tires) help a ton with the comfort. Now im questioning going onto 20's =/ . If I can make 20's work with some meatier tires, and not look like Im going off-roading, maybe..
I added one pic to the "what have you done" thread. Hopefully i can get that aero kit on ASAP
