I would never do that to the X5. It is a different car with dynamic/adaptive drive. The Z4 is a light car and it can handle well with normal suspension.
Anyhow, after some phone calls theres apparantly no reason to replace both at the same time. It seems like a dependency fault in my part suppliers system.
