Yes, I think XI height is the same w/ regular RWD height w/o the Sport Pkg. SP on XI model does not include suspension ... since you have SP now you'll feel the difference ... at the moment the I'm using lowering kit is from H&R ... it's harder than SP or go w/ KW v3 at $2700 list price.
They have style 128 w/ XI offset http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=75353&hl=.

On whether you should pull the trigger or not is entirely up to you, I can't really answer that truthfully. I mean hey, look what I'm driving now! lol, but regarding the xi's stance here are a couple of before and afters to give you an idea. This is with 19" Miro reps, not lowered vs. lowered (H&R springs only) I'm sure you've seen my pictures many times but I'll post them up so you can see side by side.
You should be able to tell the diff. but for those who can't middle 2 pics are before.

If I lived in RI I would do it, being that I live in SoCal an XI is about as useful as a snow blower. Here it wouldn't matter most Californians can't drive when it's damp, much less bad weather.
thats pretty funny. I have cousins who live in the south and out west in CA. When they come to visit during the winter, they're freaked out at driving through the snow/rain/ etc
