I lowered it at the dealership 3/4" via reprogramming the air ride, it is a little more bouncy of a ride but not bad..Handles corners very well

best bet is to keep the stock height and buy eibach swaybars and youll notice a huge cornering difference

Sweet!
The whole look screams "power" and it's tastefully done.

I'm thinking with all the Dinan stuff you have on top of the already screamin' engine, this thing cannot be far behind the new 50i turbo V8 X5 as far as performance. The new 50i is rated by BMW as 400hp with a 5.3 second 0-to-60 sprint. Stock 4.8is (E53) was rated as 355hp with a 5.9 second 0-to-60 sprint. The Dinan mods might have boosted you 25-30hp and shaved another 0.2 sec off that 5.9 sec. So you're right there.

Again, great job, one of the best E53s I've seen in terms of "oozing" power, while keeping it tasteful.

now that i think, probably not because of the 2 axle leveling. too bad, but you can always convert your x to kw suspension and then put the 3.0 eibach swaybars on

Hey thanks StanF18 for the props...Yah I wanted spacers but my rims are aftermarket and an extra 1'' wide from the stock so I stretched the 315's on....thus said I am worried about tire/fender rubing if I add anymore width and spacers are non refundable....But yes I agree and want spacers...
