side view pics of the x6 now all settled on its coilover set up

Post by westside » Tue Apr 02, 2013 10:55 am

here are a few side pics of the x6 on its KWV3 coilover set up, the rear is on its lowest setting and the frotns are halfway, the rebound/bounce setup as set up as per KWV3 settings the car handles much better is is so much smoother then having the standard springs and run flats.  I had the same set up on my e65 750 sport and was very happy with that.

Looking good, although much lower and you might as well be in a 6 series.  :P

Hmmmm, I'm not sure if I like that. I always thought the X6 was a good looking 'SAV' but thats because it had a 4x4 look to it. When lowered, it sort of looks like just a car, and loses what i liked about it in the first place.

Maybe it will grow on me.  ;)

In fairness, I would say the angle the pictures been taken at, is giving the illusion of being even lower than it is.  The X6 is a big car and I'm sure Westside's hasn't lost any of its road presence.

Not a huge fan of lowering SUVs to near car height but that doesn't look too bad at all.  Does lose some of the raison d'être of the X6 though, IMHO.

But you're happy and that is the most important bit! :)

Sounds like a good reason to do it to me, making it more car like :))

Love it, looks great and still has the presence especially with all that black. 

Nice one Westside

Looks spot on height wise. You going to head up for the 27th so we can see it in the flesh?
