AD out weighs any disadvantage that the extra weight may cause, in my lastest X5 I dropped the third row seats as I never use them.

If your worried about weight & performance drop back to 19" wheels or even 18", it take alot more power to drive 20" wheels.

And you also have to let go some MPG on the way...
But for me, looks won over sense.

I didn't say I was worried about weight and performance. I just asked a simple question: doe is it add a lot of weight? Do you know how much weight AD adds?

It would not be anymore than 9-15lbs, the shocks are alittle heavier, the swaybars being electronic/hydraulic would weigh 2-4lbs more each, plus wiring, sensors etc.

BMW uses alot of aloys in the X5 rather than steel components, if you get the M-Sport version the plastic side skirts and front & rear bumpers are lighter than the standard model ones.

Are you getting a V8 or diesel model?
