You know they make a 5 series wagon right? You’d get far better results by trading it for one of them.

I can but a imagine the ride will be terrible. They're damn firm for an SUV already so removing springs sounds dreadful. Sorry but IMO please don't. It will look dreadful.

Why would you compromise the factory set up for something that would upset the total handling and ride of the X5. You'd have to check with your Insurance Company as well as this planned modification to the factory setting may Null and Void your Policy. There will also have to be Compliance to the modifications.

Suggest you ask again in Parenting or Opinion & Politics.
They will have similar taste to you.

Leave it alone. I wince every time a see one of those lowered, body-kitted, tinted, white R50 Terranos. Must have been a fashion in Japan 20 years ago.

Yep, car companies like BMW, or any car company, spend tens or hundreds of millions of dollars developing of optimising their vehicle setups; and some people just can't wait to scrap all that to make it look as tacky and low rent as possible. Classy.

But but how else are they going to get their backward capped hoodied heads to bob up and down like eggs on a washboard.
