From what I understand, once you choose the MSport Package, it includes the Sports self leveling suspension and you don't have any other choice.

When I ordered my MSport, I took the standard X5 for a test and the suspension was very supple, yet when I got my MSport, it was very, very stiff without any adjustment.

I wish someone would have explained that to me.

Still very happy, just wish I was a little more informed, that's all.

ZMP M SPort package does not add self leveling on the 35i. Only on the 50i.

In order to get self leveling on the 35i, you need to add third row seats or try to special order it as a standalone option.

You can here in the UK, so would be surprised if you can't over there. It's what I've done on my order (X5 40d M Sport). It's option code 225, and called "M Sport suspension deletion".

Well, the dealership said since we are getting the M sport pkg, there isnt an option to delete the sport suspension. It says 226 Sport Suspension. Anybody else ordered a 2012 x5 w/ M sport pkg? Please chime in!

For 2012, X5 3.5 with M sport package comes with sport suspension. We just ordered the same car but did not ask about sport suspension delete. I don't think it's possible to delete the sport suspension on M sport package.

You can select adaptive drive which is now a stand alone option for 2012. This should make the ride more comfortable depending on the settings. Adaptive drive was standard on 2011 M sport package but has been dropped for 2012 which is the reason why M sport package is cheaper for MY2012.

thanks, but I'm not sure if adaptive drive would make the ride more comfortable... Anyway, I think sport suspension should be okay.. I mean I really have no choice, ehhehe :P

Yeah, mine was ordered with it, the dealer said I had no choice as I intend towing with it, as was everything else which was included as he was the expert, this was my first BMW.

Thing is, they forgot to put on the towbar, and the wife convinced me to leave it off and tow with my Dual Cab Pick-up. Women!
