I should have asked these questions in my first post, but is that as low as you can go? How is the ride compared to 55k mile suspension? How much travel is left in the suspension (ie. can the car flex over curbs anymore)?

It's about time you guys convert to the Metric system anyway!

That's possibly one of the nicest 4.4's I've seen in a while especially compared to the ones around where I live.

Just a suggestion but have you thought about adding wheel spacers? I think it'll really give it a sexy look.

nice looking X, not too many X's can pull that sexy looks with those rims.. i guess the color makes a difference good choice
regarding the sus. level inact... since its been lowered.. if am not mistaken the stealers r the only one can delete it.. unless u do a search here or someone come across ur post well help u.

btw keep us posted on the 4.8i front & back kit... am in a market for the 4.6i kit as well

Welcome! Nice to see another modded X5 here in Illinois. Great looking ride

ps. the third pic looks like you side-swiped the rear quarter panel!

In these pictures it was lower than my current setting...Honestly the ride isn't that harsh and is pretty comparable to 55k oem. Not sure about travel left in the suspension but I can tell you that I haven't recognized any problems in daily driving or functionality.

Quick question...does anyone know how to kill the susp. inact code? or do a hard reset on the nav/comp. The indy i brought it to for the COs tried to kill the susp code but ended up configuring the default nav/comp to Metric. ....with no luck on the susp code.

Thanks in advnce!
Didn't realize you deleted the air suspension. See here about the jumper:
