Fitting BC Coilovers to 3.0D

[Bristol X5 E53]

Hi guys new here.

I've got a 2006 E53 3.0D Le Mans Edition and some BC Coilovers, just looking for some information with regards to fitting these. Ideally looking for someone that has already done this modification.

I have tried searching on here already

I don't see why it would be any different than a petrol model.

If you're looking for general installation information, it's pretty straightforward. Don't think there's any comprehensive DIY guides on Xoutpost but the idea is the same if you search the interwebs

Ok that's great to hear, do you know what the procdure is with regards to the rear air bags and any warning light issues?

I used inpa to tell the dash not to show that warning. I eventually unplugged the pump, since occasionally it would his trying to pressurize the suspension.

is an alignment required/necessary after the BC coilover install?

I would.

Would always do the alignment after lowering any vehicle. Ok so hopefully these will be a direct swap and then it's just a case of disconnecting the air bag pump and deleting the warning message on the ECU?
