Someone posted that each model year the ride of the Sport option has improved (softer). Is that true?
Is the Sport Pkg. a liability at re-sale time?
Thanks  ,

I really can't say much about the SP on the X3, but I do love the firm ride on my '06 4.4 X5 with the SP. It also depends where you drive on a daily basis. My X is a weekend warrior and I know all the good roads around central NJ. I really avoid the bad roads and take the long way around the known bad roads.
I have the ZCP package on my M3 and love the ride. It is true that the sport package has gotten softer over the years, especially on the 3 series. The SP is NOT a liability at re-sale time. Infact, it will work to your advantage most of the time when it's time to sell. I thing 90% of X5 owners prefer the SP.
Hope this helps.
