I think I'll head back to the shop tomorrow and see if they can set it back to normal. I was going to wait through the weekend but it is really an unsettled feeling to drive it as is.

I have noticed a lot of heads turning though - had an e60 M5 revving at me and a couple of different FX35 drivers doing double-takes. Never really thought I'd get that from driving a black X5
First off it looks awesome lowered, but I will agree with you on the feeling of not being quite as planted. I have been doing some adjusting on my 4.6 which has air springs in the back only. I recently returned it back to stock and it seems to handle much better and is more planted.

Would it make sense to say that lowering the X with air springs by letting out air basically is changing the spring rate?
