pic pic pic - Lowered 4.8is
 

Postin pics of my car 4 a forum member.

PS: my car is dropped by the dealership via DIS*air suspension. Total cost came out to be 150$ well worth it, if u have all around air suspension.(finger gap in the front is 2-3fingers):thumbup: :)

First of all Thanks a lot man, your ride is f* unbelievelable man, pimp ride:rofl:
So 150$ is how much? exclude those air suspension? just the size/tires/wheel is how much?

I hate you bro. I want that drop so badly, all my dealers don't want to mess with my rear-air suspension. :(

When are you going to get the center caps?

Its looking even better!Congrats.

Nice job :thumbup:

looks great. Man I love that front guard!

BeautifuL!! How come is this on Test Forum? :dunno:

this is nice as hell... like the drop and the front

It looks stunning! - and I remember growing up In South Africa I had a 50CC motor-bike and All I wanted to do was "raise" the suspension:-)

:iagree: Much too nice to be languishing in the "Test Forum", so I moved it to the X5 forum :thumbup:

phat!

Sick looking x bro.....Can you still raise and lower it?

how much did they drop it? and what did you ask them to do for you when you took it in?

Sweet 4.8......

the car sits like a bull man......i love it i wonder if i can get it done on my 06 4.4 without using h & R springs...

Im also wondering why you dont have any center caps

Well first of, I have a friend that works at the dealership. So i talked to him and found out what service advisor knows somewhat about aftermarket stuff, so the advisor at least knew what i was semi talking about.

Then I went to the service advisor and talked to him bout my lowering my X via air suspension. Surprisingly an older man with a black 4.8 did this as well about a month or so before i got my car, so the sales rep knew what i was talkin bout and said theyd try it out but cant guarantee if it will work.

After around 3hours i got a phone call sayin the car is "ready"

So i went to go pick it up, and the rep described it like this "the car WAS lowered" so in every setting it sat a bit lower then stock(dont know how much lower) but deff lower in the "middle" and "low" setting.


As far as making the suspension STAY in the lowest setting and not make it raise above 25mph they were not able to over-ride that. I really loved how the car looked in the lowest setting, I mean the SAV was slammed!! The finger gap in the front wheels is about 2-3fingers.

This is where the intrax module came into place.
With this module that is easily installed behind the glove box. The module taps into 6wires. After the installation of this module, I can drive in any setting. From the highest to the lowest setting, the car will not raise or lower if im going above 25mph.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR GUYS' COMMENTS I STILL CANT GET ENOUGH OF THIS BEAST EVERYDAY I WALK OUTSIDE TO GO TO SCHOOL, AND I JUST LOOK AT IT, EVEN WALKIN AWAY AS I GO TO CLASS I TURN BACK, SAYING "WOW I LOVE MY CAR"

WOw love the car !

BTW, what is the part # for that thing under the front bumper ?
And how much is it ?

I think it looks better without center caps!

Looks stunning.

also would like to know where i can get the intrax module and what its exactly called is it made specific for our x5's

That Truck looks damn BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Good Job!! :thumbup:

Damn, must be nice to be in school and driving a $80K+ vehicle!!! ;)

As far as i know, its only made for the 4.8 because the 4.8 has ALL around air suspension. Think of it as a chip that over rides the suspensions mode that raises/lowers to middle setting after 25mph.

MSRP price for this module is 1000$ from intrax

www.drivewire.com sells it for 700$ thats where i got it. The price does seem kind of high, but after getting wheels for my car, i knew i had to have this module to slam my car not only when standing.. but driving as well :)

if your lucky, you might find a better deal somewhere out there that deals with intrax

why didn't you lower ur x with say...h & r springs?...think whut you did was better?

thanks for the info man......appreciate it!

its air suspension... H&R does not make air suspension type springs for the X5.

For example, the 4.4 has rear suspension only... so people get front springs from H&R and then lower the rear by the dealership

Think the 4.8 kit will work on a 4.4 with adjustable suspension?
I've been waiting electronic module to override the 25 mph auto raise.

Didn't the 4.6 come with complete adjustable suspension also? Was there a different in the suspension between the 4.6 and 4.8? Anyone know?

amazziinggg..luv the wheels

I am a 4x4 lifted truck kind of guy, but getting my X5 and seeing what you did with your X5... makes me rethink my religion.

sawf'nweet

the 4.6is has rear air suspension only.

beautiful truck bro!

how much did it cost you to lower the x5? thanks
:thumbup:

what kind of rims are those? what size?

they are DPE R16, 22"s

The dealer charged me 150$

thanks
