If you like a sport suspension you should at a minimum drive with and without back-to-back to decide.

:iagree:

My first 2 X5s were non sport. After getting the E70 with the sport package, I'll never go back.

I like putting the shifter in sports mode when taking the turns or wanting more get up and go, which I do on a regular basis. I find it more fun to drive.

Genemish and I drove one (3.5d, test drive) without an adaptive drive, and it leaned somewhat significantly in turns. It is a must have in a bimmer ! Otherwise I'd buy a Honda...

Been there, done that. I'll check back with you on that in the middle of winter.

That was obviously a joke! If you think the old 4.8 is the same as the new M, I have news for you, think again...
