X5 4.8is Suspension

Does anyone know if there is a way to default the suspension to the lowest setting all the time on a 2006 4.8is?

I don't think it can be done. It goes back to normal after 20mph or so. Maybe a dealer with their equipment can do it. At least, I have never heard of this being done.

You can do it through dealer computer to default to low setting when parked, but it will still go up above 15mph. Few have done it on 4.8is.

made by intrax

the gent with the Imola 4.8 has the kit...not cheap...

Do a search, there are several options including have the settings for normal adjusted lower by your dealer.

Yep, it is around $700 and fits inline with the electronics for the suspension. I looked into it, but it was jast-a-bit-too-mucho for me.

Thanks Imola. Can you tell me where I can get it?

Also, what kind of wheels are those?
