Depends how it is done. I would imagine that like most things there are cheap ways and more expensive ways. The cheap ways will have cheap parts that may or may not be up to the task. Any chance that a lowered car can cut the tires?

I had a friend who lowered his (older car) and left a shackle bolt extended too far. First time he went hard around a corner the bolt ripped into the tire and he spun out on a two lane sweeper.

Could this kind of thing happen on an X5? I have no clue.
