Adaptive drive or not
Hi guys,
I am about to place an order for the X5. This is what I am planning to get so far:

X5 with Sport Package,
Convenient Package,
Premium Sound,
Multi Contour seat
M sport package
3rd row seat (yes, I need it, still contemplate how to deal with emergency situation without spare tire)

I am debating the Adaptive drive option. My sale man said he would only suggest to add that option if I drive fast and tight turn often.

I would like to hear your inputs on this Adaptive drive option. Thank you.

Justin.

Third row seats will get you "self leveling" air suspension ... I believe. Not sure that "adaptive drive" is offered in combination with self leveling, because each feature uses it's own damper technology. Let us know.

You can have them both at the same time, my 2008 4.8 has both. Self leveling replaces the rear coil springs with air bladders. Adaptive Drive adds computer adjustable shocks and sway bars, along with a slew of sensors for yaw, sway, etc....
