Regarding an X5 with the SAP, the sport suspension will be standard and may be upgraded to having the Adaptive Drive. If you "uncheck" the box when building an X5 on BMW's website, this is not a possible combination with the SAP and the package itself becomes deleted. I also don't think the sport suspension is too stiff on the X5, but you'd just have to drive one to see for yourself.
Thank you for your comments. Actually, you have it backwards for the sport suspension.

If you choose the Sport Activity Package for the 35D, the box "Sport Suspension Delete" is automatically checked. If you uncheck it, the entire Sport Activity Package is deleted. So the only way to get a sport suspension (at least right now) is to spend $3,500 for the Adaptive Drive.

I have the M3 for my "fun" car, so decided I did not really need Adaptive Drive on the X5. The 20" wheels should make it handle reasonably well in the summer, and I will be running snows on dedicated winter wheels.

I am
