Suspension discussions are pretty hot on this forum, so you can find a wealth of info here.

X6 driver's seating position is lower and makes you feel like you are driving a tall car. Driver's seating in X5 on the other hand, feels more like a truck seat, although sporty.
This is only true in the USA... Other countries like Canada, and parts of Europe have the adaptive m suspension included in the Msport line.
