No sport suspension. Just put on 20s with factory sized tires. Drives unbelievably great. It's not a tremendous difference from stock 18s with RFTs that come on the diesel. The handling feels better and the truck feels more solid now.

Great! Mine comes with 19" RFT's so I'm hoping that going to 20" with no RFT's is even less of an impact on ride quality, I definitely don't want it to be as harsh as my previous X5 with 20" + sports suspension...it was just too uncomfortable for daily driving.

test drive an x5 that has the 20s with no sport suspension and see how it is.

Wish I could, they have non available due to the fact that here all X5's with the 20'' wheels must have sports suspension. That's why I decided to purchase one with 19" wheels and no sports suspension and add the wheels later myself.
