Sport Suspension delete on 35d?
Am I understanding this correctly in that the 35d with the Sport Package will NOT have the sport suspension that a 35i with Sport would have?

My 35i Sport has not gone into production yet, and given the significant volume of positive feedback on the 35d on this board, I'm considering making a switch (again). Therefore, other than fuel economy (despite higher Diesel gas prices) and the improved torque, I'm curious whether if would be losing a tighter suspension that I would otherwise be getting with the 35i Sport.

Thoughts?

No you are not correct about the 35i sport but are correct about the 35d with sport activity package.

The "sport" suspension for the 35d is the adaptive drive option which is the same for the 35i sport. However, with the 35i sport, the M Sport package includes adaptive drive or you can order it separately.

Confusion reigns. Just stop calling 'adaptive' anything 'sport' and that may clarify?

I have adaptive drive and it has a sport setting.

But it is not "the" sport suspension.

The confusion stems from the old "sport package" which included AD. As such I beleive it had to include sport suspension delete. Now they've made AD a separate option. I personally beleive they just left in 'sport delete' language in the descriptor.

Love to find out what springs and struts are REALLY in all the packages...

So what about ordering 220A alone?

With option 220, there is not traditional coil spring. It is only the pneumatic spring. There is one for the standard suspension, sport and adaptive drive.

See: RealOEM.com * BMW E70N X5 35dX LEVELL.DEVICE, AIR SPRING AND CTRL UNIT

The front springs depend on other options.

What I am getting at is can you order a car with 220A but without the third row seats...

Special ordering, like you in fact did!
