Adaptive dynamic suspension .

Post by BKRM50D » Wed Mar 28, 2018 5:30 pm

Does anyone have the above fitted to their X5 ? Is it worth having ? Does it give a more comfortable ride than the standard comfort setting ? Any views would be very helpful .

I do, but as I haven’t driven any other X5 I can’t really give a comparison. Coming from an F10 M5 I do find that the X5 rides and handles very well for a barge. It was, however, one of the options I was keen on when looking, both for the primary ride and for the handling by means of the torque vectoring.

I also had some trouble figuring it out, but the Dynamic suspension option (active toll bars) should provide both handling and comfort. There is some discussion here: https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/showt ... p?t=913797

Not sure which model you are looking at but 19” are the smallest you can fit to an M50D, and 18” to the other models, which will help comfort over larger wheels (20” or 21”)

Mine has it, and is extremely comfortable. It can roll a bit in the comfort setting, so I normally keep it in Sport.
