I have the M adaptive suspension in my car because I bought the M package, and I can tell you that pressing the sport button on my X series does nothing for the suspension. There are only springs and shocks under my car which cannot be altered. But you can see from my build sheet from a previous post I should have rear axle air suspension - but I don't since I do not have the rear seat option. Grab a flashlight and look at your car yourself to be sure.
That's strange that your adaptive M suspension doesn't make any difference. Not to argue with you, but here is a quote straight from the 2014 X5 Brochure:

Adaptive M Suspension incorporates
electronically controlled dampers that adapt to
your driving style and road conditions. Settings
can be designated via the Driving Dynamics
Control button. The Adaptive M Suspension
also lowers the X5 approximately 0.4 inch
without sacrifi cing ride comfort. Stiffer, more
dynamic system settings can be selected by
activating the SPORT or SPORT+ mode.
