Lowered X5 4.8is results with pictures using ISTA

[1MEAN4.8IS]

i did a bunch of searching trying to figure out how everyone was electronically lowering their x5's. I saw that most were using dis/gt1 which is the previous generation bmw.diagnostic software. Looking into that seemed to be too complicated. Being a technician at a dealer with access to ISTA bmws current gen software I thought why not give it a shot seeing as how recently I had some experience setting/calibrating ride heights for replacement of a sensor.
Using ISTA/D 3.0 I lowered the 4.8is about 1.2" all around
Starting heights
Front 705mm added 35mm to lower approx 1.25"
Rear 705mm added 30mm to lower apporx 1.2"

Looking nice.

Since you're a tech you have access to your dealer's mobile wheel repair guys. Why not slip a few bucks and get the curbed wheels fixed

Looks good! How do you find the ride?

Now you need rear spacers.

Subtle drop, nice! - but as TMV said, spacers a must, at least the rears as a minimum, i cant even look at my car without front+rear spacers now, it doesnt look good at all. Granted i run an aggressive setup as well. Its a little mod that changes the look of whole car.

Just to give you an idea heres mine-

Looking hella flush 4.8isx5, love your quad exhaust and glad to see you peeled the plasti dip off the fog light covers.

That second pic is just killer stance.... well done!
What exhaust is that and what spacers size did you go with F/R?

Pretty sure he's asking how you like the way it rides after lowering.
