I think mine is about as low as RajB's, lowered 1" through coding using the stock system.

Quite a few things clockwork...

For me its bigger cabin space, sitting higher up (different feel) - but your still in a lowered car, and having a "big body" car.

2. No one expects an SUV to perform like some can, our 4.8 is really fast for what it is, and ive changed some stuff in mine that improved all the numbers tenfold.

Its pretty funny when some dude in there v8 challenger ("american muscle") or something trys to get on it with you on the freeway and you are passing him at 120 lol.

3. Factory air suspension and height adjustment, which is why i wanted the 4.8is in the first place.

4. The look of the car, personally i love the look of e53's, especially the rear spaced out and fat tires, just doesnt look like any of the other suvs/cars on the road, definetly stands out.

Thats just a few things i have off the top of the head.

Oh yeah can fit up your wheel wells and space it out nicely for an aggressive look and have it lowered without breaking your oil pan, and constantly scraping shit like sedans/coupes.

removing the advantage of height and the vehicles look foolish when done so.
If a person wants a lowered vehicle, why not buy a car and lower it?
SUV/trucks are meant as utility vehicles and for bad road conditions, no? Yes they may have performance in them to a degree, but they are still not meant to be lowered as this changes everything about them.

:iagree:

Or if people want a monster car why jackup a sportscar?

The later 530 xi is a btter car then a X5.

To quote a review of the 530 and a X5

There's no great mystery as to why we prefer wagons over SUVs. Here's how the 530xi wagon stacks up against a six-cylinder X5: It weighs 630 fewer pounds, scores better fuel economy, beats it to 60 mph by a half-second, stops from 70 mph to 0 in 11 fewer feet, has better grip around the skidpad, and hauls more cargo with the second-row seats in place.

Using DIS to fool the computer into lowering the suspension. You need to have 2-axles air suspension system equipped on your E53.
