Is it for the 35d, or the Sport Suspension 35d ?
It would be possible that struts for diesel are different, to cope with the added weight...

For the 2010 35d, either with or without SA226 sport suspension. You thought it was a generic answer? Check realoem.com for yourself.

OK, I did give you their US prices. Multiply by 1.x for the GWN.

The struts are around $1000 per axle, the anti-roll bar is a few hundred, and the springs aren't listed, but guess at 1200 or so. $3500 in parts, plus labour, seems expensive to me. I'd put the same money towards AD on my next purchase.

Thanks for the info! 3500+labour is a little steep - guess I should wait, it's almost winter anyway

Sell or trade it in for one with the option(s) you want.

So, like I tought, there's no such thing as sport suspension with the sport package, it's purely aestetics.

Thanks for the info.

I don't know how they bundled the sport suspension option on the 2010 X5 35d in Canada. There were three suspension choices; regular sport, and AD. That is unlike the US. In Canada, SA226 could have been bundled with the sport package, or sold individually, I don't know.

Couldn't be unclearer, so I did the verification also.
OK, so they do list 3 different models, thanks JCL.
The only thing that I find unclear now, is this statement when you select the Sport Package:

You are looking at the configurator for the 2012 35d. The model under discussion is a 2010 model. I don't have the build sheets handy for that year.

I believe the reason the 2012 model shows the standard suspension with the sports package is because BMW CA switched over to the limited configuration being sold by BMW NA, ie no sport suspension, based on the belief that North Americans like softer riding vehicles.

No sh*t !

I've used it just because it's cleaner than typing it, more visual.
But I've seen the same description for MY2010, thus wondering f it was indeed Standard.
