1.2, that's all you need for a clean stance.

I am thinking of getting the Dinan Springs with the F10 M5 bump stops. Or Maybe the H&R 1.2" with the F10 M5 bump stops.

Is anyone here using the H&R 1.2" spring kit on their X5M's with the Dinan or F10 Bump stops installed (both front and rear bump stops installed).

What's the gain with the f10 bump stops?

They are essentially "cut down" bumpstops. You go lower, but maintain your bumpstops in case of a bottom out of the suspension. They're the same part number as the ones that come with the Dinan kit that they charge a huge Dinan tax on.

These say they are for 2011-2017 F10 models; IYO, would these work for bump stops or is it the same part?

The should also reduce the spine cracking bottom out occurrences. With my H&R 2.0 and stock bumpstops...any significant dip/bump is brutal.

Forgive me, but I have springs in the rear. Does this mean I don't have a self leveling suspension? I took some pictures (crappy and in the dark) but did not see any airbags.

No bags = no self leveling

You can either check physically again using better lighting or you can run your vin on a vin decoder site and check the options on the vehicle.

I checked and here's a better picture. Looks like no self leveling. Good idea to get new bump stops like everyone suggest in the earlier post?

If lowering go with the M5 bump stops on all 4 corners.

Dinan shows they have bump stops specifically for E70. Any difference using the F10 bump stops?

They're the exact same part number. They just sell them with their springs and claim they're Dinan... it's just bs.

Does H&R 1.2 put any added stress on the rear airbags vs Dinan? Anyone experienced any failures with either ones?

I doubt it. BUT in the rear you use lowering links.
