So, thinking about this yesterday prompted me to get a quote on an ordered car instead of the executive demo.. Turns out, the programs and discounts are good enough right now that the executive demos aren't much better of a deal, if any (more credits available for the new car offset any savings for the "gently used" exec demos). I'm guessing come year-end, this could get that much better, and I could wait until then if I want, as my 335 isn't due back until January. So I will order one with DHP instead of compromising anything on a demo.. Thanks again for the input.

Back to the topic at hand, our next X5 will 100% have the full DHP as well. The X5 has always proved, going back to the E53, that there is no reason an SUV has to handle like a pick-up truck. The stock X5 suspension is still miles better than that, but the adaptive drive/DHP starting with the E70 also proved there's no reason it shouldn't handle like a sport sedan. That has really spoiled me for all other SUV's that don't put the same focus on handling. I made the mistake once going from the E70 to an ML350 (wife's choice) and I'll never make that mistake again. That thing felt like riding one of these:

Agree that our F15 with DHP inspires more confidence than our F10 with DHP. Will spend more time playing with the F10 trying to narrow that gap.
