My biggest gripe with the X3 is that BMW neutered that wide, imposing rear view that the X5 has (when properly equipped). You absolutely nailed the look.

How's the car feel/handle with the MSS Springs? Are you bottom'ing out over hard bumps?
I totally agree!

The MSS kit has been great. I feel like I'm one of the few that hasn't encountered problems. I get no clunking and rarely hit the bump stops. I love it compared to the Comp suspension

I know exactly what you mean. I have a love/hate relationship with it thought. One hand I would like the wider front/rear. On the other hand, I really like that it doesn't feel overly wide like some SUV/SAV's do to the point where it hugs both lines going down the road.

Great set up, perfect ride height, love the overall look, only thing I would have left out are the mud flaps, but you def nailed it and Donnington is such a great color.

Car looks great. But I can't help but think once you lower an SUV you are entering into SW territory, just heavier, etc?

Do these tire sizes fit on stock completion rims? I'm trying to upgrade to this exact set up of 265 front and 295 rear PS4S and the rim replacement cost is what's stopping me unless it could work on the stock rims. Thanks in advance

The X3M looks awesome Brock! Love the pics, you're an excellent photographer! I still admire the pics you took of my M. We should get the two cars together for a photoshoot sometime next year when the weather starts to warm up again. Enjoy the ride!

They do! A few people are running 265/40 and 295/35 on stock wheels and suspension. I believe you can even get away with 10-12mm spacers. Here's a good thread for ref

Significantly more enjoyable. Comfort is now... comfortable but still sporty. No more hard thuds and jolts when driving around town but Sport Plus is still rock solid when you want it to be. They should have came like this from the factory
