Link to photos do not work. And sorry to burst your bubble but it does not look like it has 'all the options' - most notably no Sports Package.
Sorry about the link not working, I did post a picture that seems to be working fine. Didn't have time to deal with all the URL stuff.

Actually my bubble is not burst...still quite intact...for now at least! Lol. Yes, it absolutely has the Sports Package or I wouldn't have AD. So only in 2009, if you ordered the Sports package, it came with Adaptive Drive. The sports package in 2009 consisted of: Active Roll Stabilization and Electronic Damping Control suspension, 19-inch wheels, heavily bolstered sport seats and Anthracite trim. Some which is easy to see via exterior of X5s but I also find it very difficult to know with absolute certainly which X5s had sports packages looking purely from an exterior pic. Or at least that's my experience after decoding nearly 100 VINs over the last 6 months while trying to find this gem.

The only thing that I've found not optioned on the car is Comfort Seats. Not sure if those were offered in 2009 but absolutely assume so. So I'll swap out the Sport seats for them. Already can't stand the sports seats. Never liked them in my M3 but never drove that car on long distance trips or I'd be carrying a case of oil! I can't take em longer than about 1 - 1.5 hours. Horrible seats if you ask me and after the ABC delete....first thing I do for the interior.
