Please correct me if I am wrong, I think you are right with respect to the US vehicles. As to, for example, Canada and UK, you don't get adaptive drive with the sport package but a sport suspension. If you want adapative drive in Canada or UK, you need to get the Dynamic Handling Package in addition to the sport package (see http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e70-forum/...-canada-2.html). In other words, in Canada and UK, you will see some X5s with sport package (i.e. with sport suspension) and some with sport package+dynamic handling package (i.e. with adapative drive).

ah, that could be, i'm not sure how it's setup outside the USA.

You are correct as far as the UK is concerned.

I don't know for the US but this is NOT True for Europe where you can get the SPORT Package and no Adaptive Drive. They are two separate options in Europe.

Dynamic Drive Package and Sport Package are two separate options in Canada. You can order them together or separately. You do not need one to get the other.

Could be wrong, but if you get both, then there's a little sport button that appears just below the gear selector.

Nurburg = where the ring is (west of Frankfurt)

Nurnburg = Where the trials were (North of Munich)

Stuttgart = where they build Porsche and Mercedes (my home) and where the Porsche test track is (4 miles from my house)
