I'm also in the minority that prefers the Sport seats over the Multi-Contour seats...so you may want to take all of this with a grain of salt.
To be fair, I've never driven an X5 with Adaptive Drive. It should drive very similar to the X6 - except I've heard a couple of people now say they thought the ride on the X5 with AD was actually too firm and driving one without AD changed everything for the better. I can say for certain that this was the opposite with the X6. I just can't imagine a better ride in a 5,200lb truck than the X6 with Adaptive Drive.
