I agree with you there. Perhaps the wheel gap is so large that the supposed 1" drop doesn't produce enough of a delta. It looks better in my head but I don't know if that's just me wishing it to look better
An X5 with M package (which I see you've listed in your signature) still looks a heck of a lot better all hunkered down.
This is the third vehicle that I've had springs on while still on factory warranty. No issues. Overall, there is sharper reflexes and braking has improved.. so I'm happy I did it.
