aftermarket x3 suspension

Anybody tried a suspension upgrade, e.g. coilovers?
e.g., KW Suspension Variant 3 Coilovers

i have a 2005 x3 3.0. Love it. Only do light off road- mostly use it for twisty paved hiways carrying friends and gear (bikes, skis, surfboards...). Handles well, but it would be nice to have a little less roll tossing it into the corners.

The optional sport suspension from a few years ago got mostly panned. Wonder if current aftermarket stuff can stiffen it up a bit without sacrificing other aspects.

Thanks

X3 M Sport

This mat help, i was so fed up with the overhard suspension set up on my M Sport i changed it for an AC Schnitzer set up, lowers car by 20 mm, not too hard but still firm, cost a bit but worth it.
I think also the low profile tyres do not help but have not found a replacement>

Still have the original M Sport suspension in the garage, trouble is i live in the UK,if anyone interested give me a shout, PM.

Derek
