This is a touchy subject on the boards, but adaptive drive IMHO sucks. I had it on the 550 sport and it was great. But on our X5 the sport suspension is too damn hard and that's what you get with adaptive drive. Notice the "sport suspension delete" on the sport activity package description.

I hate to say it, that you are also mistaken...
Unless the X5 is significantly different than the X6, there is no way is has a hard ride. I drove X6s with adaptive drive and 20" wheels and own an X6 with 19" wheels and the ride is far from hard. Nowhere close!
Either
a) something is wrong with your X5
b) you don't have adaptive drive
c) your tires are shot
d) The X5 with adaptive drive drives completely different than the X6 with adaptive drive
I drove an x5 with adaptive drive and the ride was not harsh at all (on Chicago roads). So I think it is a, b, or c. If ever in Chicago, PM me and we can go for a ride with my X6 and figure this out.
PS - Where do you see a sport suspension delete on the 2012 build on bmwusa?
PPS - I notice you have a 2009 X5- I'm guessing that has something to do with it. I can assure you there are very few (if any ) 2010-2012 X6 owners with adaptive drive who think they have a harsh riding vehicle.
PPPS - what year was your 550?
