Xdrive and M-Sport combination
Hi everybody,
A few weeks ago, someone totalled my beloved E46 with his jeep, unfortunately with me still in my car. As a result, I'm stuck without a car, and a whiplash that'll take me quite some time to get rid of. My E46 had the M-Sport package with the 18" alloys, but fearing for my comfort I ordered my new E90 without sport package and with default 16" wheels, just to get a softer ride. I figured I could always swap the wheels later on... ... skip forward a week, and I already regret not getting the sport package, so I'm figuring out a new configuration to change my order (I still have some weeks left). In the BMW car configurator for the 320d, there is an option to leave out the M-Sport suspension when you select the sport package, but I cannot find this option for the x-drive version. I've read somewhere that the x-drive has it's own suspension, and therefor it cannot use the sport suspension, but I cannot find any confirmation of this on the BMW website. Can anybody vouch for this? Does the x-drive have its own suspension, or the same suspension as either standard of sport-packaged car? I'd really like to get the sport package, because I love the look, but for my own sake I'd rather stick with 17" wheels and no sport suspension... for now... Thanks in advance, Marlon |

The xDrive does not get the m-sport suspension.
Since the xDrive is taller than the RWD models, I guess it has it own suspension.

xDrive models indeed have a specific suspension setup, which is different from RWD models and very different from RWD ZSP/ZMP models.

Since you actually have an x-drive (nice car, by the way!), could you comment on the suspension? Is it a harder ride than the default E90? Thanks, Marlon |

I have the 335i X Drive M Sport and it surely does ride higher but the stock suspension is certainly worthy. However, in a few days, I'm upgrading to KW V3's for the esthetic/performance balance.
