if you care about passenger comfort, dont lower your xi

Eibach springs are what I used.

Ride with non-RFLT is more than fine. Handling and looks are much improved.

Now I have my RFLT 17"s on there for snow and it is a very stiff ride.

Also I went 9.5 rear, 8.5 front, but went with a super light tire, looks much better no downside in handling, will stay in ruts more.

I have had my car lowered probably 2 years, had zero issues.

I just hated the look and turning of the stock height.

Whats' the XDrive's stance when it's purchased equipped with the sport package? Does it still sit tall?

Would it not be an option to use the OEM suspension parts from a non-xi vehicle (either with or without sport package)? Has anyone done this?

I'm starting to really reconsider lowering my new 335 xi. I have H&R Sport Springs in my possession, but don't want to spend additional money for Bilsteins, Install and then uninstall before I return the car to BMW at lease end.

I have Msport and the xDrive suspension definitely looks 4x4ish.

I'd be curious to see an answer to your second question.

X drive with sports (sport or m sport) doesnt have lowering springs. Regular and sport should sit at the same height.
