NOT EVERYONE BUY A CAR/TRUCK FOR THE SAME REASON. The ground clearance may be the reason for you to buy an SAV/SUV, but if it's that important, why don't you get a vehicle with say, 10in clearance instead of 8in like the X5? Then you can comfortably go offroad. The X5 is not designed to go offroad, and in most cases lowering makes no difference in how it's being used. It only makes the car handle better in all situation.
IF SITTING POSITION IS IMPORTANT TO YOU, YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER A MULTITUDE OF OTHER CARS/TRUCKS. The truth is, modding is not for everyone. But that's what the forum is for, distributing user experience. If you haven't had experience in a lowered X5, let someone else who has already done so speak about their experience.
