Rear Air Suspension

Hey guys,

I have a 2016 F15 X5 M-Sport and was trying to determine whether or not I have Rear Air Suspension? How can I determine this?

Thanks!

if you do not have 3rd row seating, DHP or M Adaptive suspension, then you do not have rear air suspension.

I have a 3rd row and air suspension in the back. My understanding is that it's the default suspension on 3rd row equipped models.

Unlock the car and listen. You will hear the motor kick in and self level the back end. Sounds like a small air Pump

I've never looked into this, but what's the purpose of the rear air suspension?

Run a VIN decoder and you will discover quickly if you have it or not. http://www.bimmer.work

M sport does not automatically come with air suspension.
