Good question to ask on the X forums too. But as BMW enthusiasts and what we’ve seen people do to their cars, why bother asking?
I may have considered something like this 15 years ago when I lowered my E60 and 10 years ago on my F12, but I actually do need every inch the ground clearance as I was happy to have it along with the front lift when I was powering through 8-12 inches of unplowed snow on the 15N in CA/NV/UT with my studless snow tires going 40-70mph. But not everyone does that so…to each their own. Let’s not hate on each others’ styles. I know my purple wheels are also of questionable taste. 🤐
Functionally, the wheel well of the iX isn’t very roomy. For those of us running wider sizes like 285 wide, I’m already rubbing on hard bumps with a 25 offset on stock height. Lowering it like this will make tire options even narrower.
