Finally found some time to get my X5M down to the guys at IND. They installed the 2" drop H&R springs. Painted a few odd and ends. Everything looks great. Thanks guys.

Here is the before and after pics. I am also including a picture before all the mods started.

While I really like the look of the lowered X5M. The 2" might be just a little too low for my taste. I think the ride is noticably firmer. The 21" wheels with run-flats probably do not help. The other issue is that I bottomed out the suspension already. Going to run with it for a month or so and see if it grows on me.

I lasted 3 days before returning it back to stock. I was actually ok with it, even though the bottoming out sounded awful. Since I got the X for my wife, she absolutely hated how it felt and I lost that battle immediately -- hahaha! Although it looked great, it wasn't worth it in the end. I just sold my springs to another member on this board.

As for your M, it looks great!
