Hey Joe, did you end up lowering?
If so, where did you get the springs from? I have a 7 seater and was wondering if many have done it in Australia. |

all X5 7 seaters come with electronic air suspensions as standard, doubt you'd be able to lower it.

You only need to use an adjustable linkage that trick the system into thinking it's at the right height. For the Self Leveling Suspension (SLS), you only need shorter front springs, and a tricked-out adjusting back linkage. Just do a on the forum.

You can adjust the rear suspension via a computer adjustment, you trick the suspension that a lower setting is the normal height. Good for about 50-60mm lower. Northern BM Melbourne did it for me - experts in BMW racing. Also I got new front springs..

Finally taken a picture of my X5 Lowered! not too aggressive as I do not want to get hassled by the very strict police in Melbourne Australia.

No not if it is higher than the legal limit and they are proper lowered springs (not cut)
