Bulletproofing the X5..... your thoughts on Suspension issues!!!
 

Hi guys,

Level 3+ suspension adds 550-650 pounds to the vehicle, basically what weights more is the windows... the rest has kevlar and other components....

Lets not even talk about level 5.

Ok my question is, will this hurt my Adaptive Suspension System on the 2008 4.8i?

lets see, having the vehicle with 4 persons, each one weight 150 pounds, thats 600 pounds.....

you guys think that i will have any problems???


thanx guys!:thumbup:

it'll look like this if you do it sLamMeD yO

How's the ModKoolAid going for you?

The real question might be even if you have a fly car, the type of rims you put on it can either make it look totally better or it can make it look disgusting. These days, there are so many rims to choose from that it makes the consumers decision kind of hard no matter what level your reaching for. Everybody wants the chrome, the 20+ inches, and the fat 6 inch lip. But for those of you who really want to stand out you gotta get these. Make sure you watch the video. Very important when your trying to get to the best of level 3+... http://www.premiumautomods.com/pimp-...light-up-rims/

How did this thread turn into a joke. I would think that the extra weight of the bulletproof armor and passengers weight wont hurt the suspension, it will hurt the performance for sure. Please post pics of the finished product and costs also. GL

I suggest doing web searches for David Beckham's bullet-proofed X5's. You will find that he had two stolen (I think it those were arranged by Audi as they gave him a new Q7 to replace it :) ) but you might be able to find some specs too.

:rofl: :rofl: i hate the q7

Christiaan, if you are serious, PM me and I'll hook you up with a ready armored E70.

Is it a 3rd party add-on or the Security from BMW?

It is 3rd party, but more built-in than add-on.
Certified workmanship, materials, windows... Engineered and upgrade of parts to accomodate the extra weight. Runflat inserts, armor of critical engine components. Many options available.
