If you mean stock, it most definitely will drive differently. How differently depends on how far back you go.

2008-2010 (perhaps 2009) included both dynamic performance control and adaptive drive. For the 20011MY, they decoupled adaptive drive, but it still included DPC by default through 2014. So now for the 2015MY, they've decoupled DPC.

So right off the bat you'll have to add a $4500 option to get it to drive the same as a 2011-2014. $7900 (DPC+MSport+M Adaptive suspension) to get to drive the same as a 2008-2010. That certainly turns their 'slight' increase into a mighty hefty one.

For my 2012, I paid $3500 to add AD. Now I'm in the $7900 boat ($4400 increase for me) to get the same car. Since I've driven X6s w/o AD and X5s w/o DPC, there's no way that I'd order an X6 without both of those options.

Although I liked how the X6 looked, I moved from my '11 E70 to a '12 E71 most definitely for its awesome drive.
Had no clue adaptive drive was serial, i had april 2011 production and was wondering about how come adaptive drive was so expensive. Car drove great with torque vectoring though and inspired confidence. I miss the way it drove. Am sure the new one will be great too and stronger in other areas such as cabin noise and consumption. If they manage it drives as well as the old one it will be a success. Pretty sure it will look great in person
