Its the same platform as the 5 so the mounting points will be the same. I imagine you will have to de-activate the gimmick comfort/sport suspension option in the ECU to stop fault codes being thrown up. Doubt its any more complex than that.

I was thinking that, if they bring out a 4 wheel drive version it will be rivaling the X6 as all-terrain champ  :smug:
