(Cuz, that is not a valid build option for 2011 X5 50i, and they should know better)....

Questions:

1) I plan to go with the 20" 336 wheels (which I think come with no extra charge?) exactly what kind of tires will I be getting with those wheels?
2) With the options I have listed, am I getting the self-levelling with pneumatic rear suspension or is that removed with adaptive drive option I had added separately?
3) The seats are important to me, not clear on what I'm really getting. ZAP adds Sport seat, and ZAV makes them Multi-contour. are seats I'm getting both Sport and Multi-contour? or is this an OR thing.
Sorry to do this to you, but take a look at the 50i ordering guide. 4M5 (Nappa leather dash) can be ordered with Nevada leather seats, whether they are perforated or the regular seats as a $1900 option. If you decide to go with Nappa leather seats, the dash is included in the price of the package.

So you might want to rethink your litmus test.... I actually have the Nappa dash with Black Nevada perforated leather (ZAV).

As far as your questions:

1)2LM 20" style 336 are a $950 upgrade (invoice is 865). The current builds of the 2011 X5s with 20" rims have Dunlop SP Sport Maxx DSST RunOnFlat (Max Performance Summer) tires.

2)Self leveling rear suspension is standard in the 50i regardless of whether you have adaptive drive or not is my understanding. In the other models, you had to have 3rd row to get it.

3)ZAV automatically upgrades the seats to multi-contour seats with either of the 2 perforated Nevada choices, adding the ZAP just means that you won't be double charged for them. You won't be getting sport seats. On the other hand if you took the ZAV out, and got the ZAP, for the upgraded price you can get multi-contour (456) seats in lieu pf the sport seats. This would only give you the Nappa colors as the only choices and in the process make you pay $2400 (invoice is 2185).

Hope that helps, and goodluck
