Softer Ride?!?! (236 views) 
Message: I'm hoping some X5 experts out there can help me. Two years ago, we bought my mother a 2006 BMW X5. It is fully loaded, which includes the full sports package. She complains about the "harsh ride" all the time. I've driven the car, and I understand what she means -- the ride is rather stiff. I explained that the car has sports wheels (19 inch) and low-profile tires, and that it probably has a much stiffer suspension than the non-sports versions of the X5. She wishes the ride were much softer and floatier. So my question is: What steps can I take to give this X5 a much SOFTER, GENTLER, FLOATIER ride? Should I change the wheels and tires? The shocks? Anything else? I don't know much about this kind of stuff, so I'd appreciate any specific advice you can give me. Thank you.
