Has anyone got these fitted? would be good to see a review on the X5 and a couple of pictures as they seem good value compared to KW

BC Racing Coilovers
Re: BC Racing Coilovers
Don't know anyone running them.
For an alternative to KWs you can go with Bilstein. They do a B12 kit which is Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs.
Works out to about £800 ish

Re: BC Racing Coilovers
if i am going to lower then i want the adjustability as when ever i have bought springs in the past its never quite got the stance i wanted and then your stuck, at least with coilvers you can dial it in...
BC racing get rave reviews on other BMW forums and they are half the price of the KW' and have camber adjustment on them, i had Bilstien B14 coilovers on my last car and the ride was good but wasn't cheap
On the rear with lowering links hows the ride compared to the front, i did my E39 tourer a few years ago and found the back quite harsh compared to H&R springs on the front (that were not low enough and wished i bought coilovers) ::)

Re: BC Racing Coilovers
I'm keen to see some review also - I Have only see one bloke saying the ride was a bit harsher but cornering much flatter.
I've had a set of BCs in a v35 skyline and they were great. Also had a set of bilsteins in an earlier nissan and then a mazda MPS - you lose w adjustability of the BC but you get to experience that perfect recipe of someone who has done hours of research into shock and spring technology in a bilstein ....you just know it will work . Anything else is just fluff to try justify low clearance, negative stance
