Smooth Ride - no bumps
Alrighty, so the X5 runs good for me. But I'd like to have it so that you don't feel bumps. I understand you'll always feel the big bumps but the small-medium ones I'd like to pretty much elimanate any feel of them...what do I need to do?

Get another car

X has hard suspention, and if you got the sports pkg then it is eaven harder.

If you go with some 17" whels with 225's that wil work for you as a smooth ride, not a nice looking one but you wont feel the bumps

I have 18's and don't plan on going any lower.

I dunno if I have the sports package.

if you are noticing the ride to be harsh, i would not consider a rim upgrade. anything larger on your x will only amplify the road feel. YOu can consider getting better tires...

yeah i find a car is better than the x5 for a smooth ride, its because of its weight and all the above give reasons
