the 6-22 is still immensely better than a stock x-drive and is definitely liveable(imo) until your 5-22 front springs arrive.

The dampers wearing out quicker is definitely something I'd like to avoid. I know that Dinan and ACS have springs for the adaptive suspension, but I haven't been able to find out if they work on xDrives, or if the drop is any better than the Eibachs.
Is it possible to order just the 05-22 fronts, or would I need to order the full set?
Thanks for the help btw, I've done some research on the forum and your posts have always helped me out.

Just fyi, you may still be disappointed with the 05-22.

Unfortunately Tunershop sent me a set of Citroen springs instead of the 05-22s. I reached out three times and they only responded 1 month later when I finally threatened them with a credit card chargeback. It sucks that they're essentially the only vendor that has these springs.
The H&R springs have the perfect drop imo, and I had a set on my previous car (428i coupe), but the ride was absolutely horrible. Can I bother you for a picture of your setup? If it's not a drastic difference, it might not be worth the additional ~$600 to buy/install the 05-22s.
