What about the idea of not dropping the car and going with more rubber (the original question that was asked)?
I am curious as to whether you can go 275/35 and 245/40 (like the 7-series).
It will not work with the sport package, but what about nonsport?

You can, but it screws your speedo and accelleration.

My Ride: White 08 X5 3.0si Sport
Black 06 530i (non-sport)
How will it look though with more rubber? Will it still look good? Where can I take it to get lowered in Portland, OR?
