Lowering 2.5" on X-Drive

Does anyone have an x-drive car that has lowered there car about 2.5 inches from stock?

if so did you run into issues with axles and what suspension.

Just measured my M3CX. Clearance on front rubber air dam is about 5.5”. Lowering will therefore give you 3” ground clearance. In the UK pot holes and speed humps would probably be a challenge as I’ve scrapped the air flow strips on some aggressive humps here without any suspension changes.

My Xdrive was lowered about 2" on the MSW HAS kit. No issues. Installed at around 1500 miles and sold car at 6250 miles.

It would look so good but 2.5 is aggressive!

I did not measure mine but i don't see any room to go any lower. I already have to be extra careful with every bump

haha I really want the car on the ground. but still functional.
I went to ohlins from HAS to go lower and it ended up raising the car.

ideally I'd want the car an inch lower from has kit all around.
