-PICS- Picked Her Up! 550ix M-Sport Alpine White
Hey guys, just picked her up yesterday! What a car... so powerfull that every time I push that accelerator way down a cant help but smile...you know what im talkin about :-) had the dealer install MATTE black grills I got from Evan at FLUX AUTOSPORT who is actually a member here, great product and amazing service... I think Evan got me the matte grills 2 days after I ordered them and he's in Cali and i'm Boston. In the spring I plan to do stage 2 Dinan but for now tints, springs, spacers and maybe a sub in the rear. Anyways to make it simple its got every option but night vision and fender cameras which I dont like the look of the little cameras on white fenders anyways. Next week im doing tints all around and was hoping you guys could help/guide me on which springs to get. I really want the lowest look cause right now it looks like an SUV which I cant stand since I slam all my cars... Everyone says H&R on Xdrive cars sit the lowest but someone said that it bounces? Anyone here have xdrive with H&R chime in please also if someone could post pics here of H&R with xdrive so I can have an idea on how it looks, its ok to hijack this thread I need to make a decision on springs next week... height now is killing me

Congrats!!! Looks like you got all the desirable option. I cant give any feedback on the springs since mine is rwd 535. I've heard though that h&r is too low for the front on the 550s. I see you're not proud of the profile, so post pics when you get her dropped.

Go with AC Schnitzer springs! They work amazingly well with my RWD but I heard they work great with the AWD cars as well. Car looks sweet!
Alpine White on Black w/aluminum FTW!

Car looks great congrats!
Our F10 550i is lowered on H&R springs and looks amazing but it's not an xDrive. Hopefully someone with an xDrive 550i can post some pics!

Congrats on your F10, looks great! ACS springs have been incredible for me I suggest you check out the mod forum as there is lots of discussions about springs, etc.
