I love a raised x5 personally

The lowered height was when I first installed them and it was after they had settled about an inch or so. I decided to raise it simply because it is my daily driver/ family car (and I want more life out of my 315's!). My M3 is low so I don't need this to be at the moment.

The camber isn't the killer for the 315's. Set the rear toe close to zero (just a hair of toe in) and the camber within spec and you'll get good life out of the tires.

I am aware but with the weight of these "SAVS" they still will wear faster even with zero toe. My M3 has a lot of camber and the tires don't wear too fast. My other concern with lowering too much was the axle angle as well as the fact that I want to put a hitch on to get a trailer to tow the M3.

So after I got an alignment I still have an issue I was having before but I thought it was just the lack of alignment. The rear end seems disconnected so much that I feel like I am driving a truck. It sways over the crest on the highway almost like bump steer... the truck is basically at stock ride height (maybe a little lower). The only thing I can think of is how the BC coils mount to the rear hub so all the weight is on the outmost point of the rear control arm instead of the inside where the bags use to be.
