Front Drop)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe E70 X5M brought M power to the SUV world, and its twin-turbo V8 and all-wheel drive still pull hard today. What gives its age away is the stance. Tall fender gaps make a 555-horsepower M car look like a family hauler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese E70 X5M lowering springs from H\u0026amp;R are built for cars with factory rear self-leveling. The kit drops the front approximately 2.0 inches with new H\u0026amp;R front springs, and lowers the rear using the included rear ride-height sensor links, which work with the factory self-leveling air springs instead of replacing them. It is the aggressive option, with a noticeable nose-down drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE70 X5M Lowering Springs for Self-Leveling Cars\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the rear stays on the factory air springs, the self-leveling system keeps doing its job under load. The ride height sensor links simply tell it to hold a lower rear height. Up front, H\u0026amp;R designs its Sport Springs to work with the factory dampers, so there is no need to replace your shocks. Every H\u0026amp;R spring is made in Germany from shot-peened 54SiCr6 spring steel and tested in an ISO 9001 certified facility, so it holds its height. Sold by AutoTecknic, an authorized H\u0026amp;R dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eH\u0026amp;R part number 50435-2. This is the With Self-Leveling kit with the 2.0 in. front drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich Kit Do I Need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eH\u0026amp;R makes four E70 X5M sport spring kits, and the right one depends on your rear suspension and how low you want to go. Cars with factory rear self-leveling suspension use rear air springs and need a With Self-Leveling kit: 50435-2 (2.0 in. front drop) or 50435-4 (1.2 in. front drop). Cars with conventional rear coil springs need a Without Self-Leveling kit: 50435 (2.0 in. front, 1.2 in. rear) or 50435-3 (1.2 in. front and rear). To check, look behind a rear wheel for an air spring instead of a coil spring, or look for rear self-leveling suspension on your build sheet or a VIN decoder. After that, 2.0 in. versus 1.2 in. is simply your drop choice. Still unsure? Send us your VIN and we will confirm it before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 H\u0026amp;R front sport springs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 rear ride-height sensor links for the factory self-leveling air suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLowers the front of the E70 X5M approximately 2.0 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear lowered with included ride-height sensor links that work with the factory air springs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor vehicles with factory rear self-leveling suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to work with the factory dampers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e54SiCr6 spring steel, shot-peened for sag and fatigue resistance, made in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis H\u0026amp;R kit fits the following US-market vehicle:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW X5M \/ E70 (2010-2013): with factory rear self-leveling suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional installation is strongly recommended.
