Any difference in suspension height on M vs M sport?

imtheant · 05-01-2016, 08:53 AM

Does anyone know if the suspension ride height sits lower than on the X5M vs the 50i M Sport? I am looking hard at a 2015 X5M with the OEM 21's and I am curious if the suspension is different than the 50i with the Sport package. Any ideas?

Totally different suspension in all aspects.

I have both. M sport 50i and a x5m with the 21's. Suspension is very different. I can post a pic with both cars side by side to look at the height difference.

Agreed. I tested drive one of my friend's 50i and it drives like shit.

You question seems to be about the height.

I can say that having owned an F15 M50d and now the X5M, that the X5M sits slightly lower.

The M50d is lower than a 30d, etc also.

0.3" difference in height (69.1 in. vs 69.4).
Unless you have laser vision it will be very hard to see it.

I just know that when getting out of my X5M vs the M50d, I noticed a difference when stepping down to the ground.

Heard that the difference in hight between a regular X5 and X5M is about 1 centimeter.
