Just wanted to share some new pictures my friend took this past weekend.

Updates from last year: AirRex air suspension, fixed bumper and fenders.

Next project: rear bumper and exhaust.

Looks great!! First Prior kit I have liked on an e60! Nice to see another e6x on air!

You have details on the kit install? Can we see the tank pump setup? I've contemplated this.

And your stance is perfect.. Looks good

Looks very beautiful! LED at front make it even more aggressive.

Thanks guys. I mixed the E60 and E61 kits to achieve the look I wanted. Also, the LED bar is from Junack.
AirRex markets their kit as "plug and play". They ship you an enclosure that contains a 3gal tank, a Viair compressor, solenoid valves and the "brains". You literally install the struts, plug in the air lines and plug the enclosure to your battery. Here's a pic off my phone I took during the install. Not the prettiest thing but it works. Since I have all the essentials, I plan on disassembling the contents after a year and fabbing something cooler.... 5 gal tank or another 3 gal tank in series... another Viair... polished SS lines... the works!



The digital management system is pretty dope. The wireless controller that it comes with has a decent range and allows you to control each corner independently or the fronts and rears together. There are also (3) presets that you can program. Based on how the E60 suspension is set up, my "drive height" preset doesn't work properly. The root cause is that the AirRex kit is pressure-based and the rear bag (sleeve) doesn't accurately read the pressure. Kind of a bummer but ForJWorks/AirRex has great customer service and they made it right with me.

The install took maybe 8 hours but we ran into an issue removing the rear KW's, which ate up about an hour.

What did you use off the e61?

My front bumper is from the E61 Freestyle kit. I had the E61 side skirts too but they didn't flow well so I ended up buying the E60 side skirts too. Haha

Ahhhh thought you were referring to the air suspension when you said that.

Since I'm sponsored, I can't post up my price. I think these kits retail for around $5k? Your best bet is to contact Paul over at ForjWorks (they are the NA dealer for AirRex).

This kit is one of the more expensive ones out there due to its "pre-built" nature and wireless digital management. When I first started looking, I thought Accuair E-level was going to be the most expensive but its actually ~$600 less than this kit IIRC.
