The 3rd row seating is SOP 12/18, so it's possible that is why the order is getting kicked back. I'm not sure if that means starting 12/1/18 or perhaps a later week in December.

In looking at the order guide 2vh active steering requires ordering 2vr two axle air or zor off road package. my guess is the m sport package comes with adaptive m suspension which may not be compatable with the air suspension. Our q7 has air suspension with rear steering and it rides great. i would also like to have rear steer since it works so well on the audi. this is just my quess so if some knows morw please chime in

I can confirm that you c an get 2vr with m sport since my order has both. But I don't have USA spec car. I order Hk spec which has m brake m exhaust and 2vf is standard on x line and m sport. Usa people don't complain since we are paying a lot more for our cars.

I can confirm that it is possible to order the M Sport Package with "Integral Active Steering". However when selecting the option "2 axle air Suspension", the option "M adaptive suspension" disappears.
So which option is better? If I order the "2 axle air Suspension", do I still get the Sport/Sport+ modes? |

2 axle is better. Check bmw.de in Chrome with translate Turned on. The have three suspensions. Stock, m adaptive which is ddc and 2 axle air which ddc plus air on two axle. If u chose 2 axle with m sport it costs less than by itself and deselect m adaptive.

Just wondering if that is a bad thing, i.e. am I missing out on something? Or is this like when selecting the parking assistant plus, the regular parking assistant disappears (as it is already included in parking assistant plus)? |

Bonus for 2 axle air is making lower/raise making loading/unloading and especially getting in/out of the vehicle easier in addition to adjusting the body's ground clearance for off-road driving. As far as what's better? I think it depends on what your needs are. For average consumers, DDC is more than enough. Sport drivers, M Sport with Adaptive M suspension. For more ride comfort, 2 axle air suspension balances to control vehicle load and vertical adjustment. Initially available only on 6-cyl xLine or V8 - Off-road package for the off roaders or individuals who want more terrain control (Land Rover). Launching only on V8, you have the coveted Dynamic Handling Package with adaptive M pro, active roll stabilization, integral active steering and M sport differential which makes a big vehicle such as this more agile with flatter corner response.

Correct. I should have added a note to that effect. Same for off road package which is only available on 6-cyl xLine or V8 in the US.

I have been reading the old threads in the forum to research this further. I see the oft-referenced and useful [!] suspension comparison image - but that is a little bit older and now DDC is standard on all models (yay!), so to optimize for ride comfort (esp. while driving with family ), I am trying to choose between 2VR air-suspension + DDC versus M-sport package w/Adaptive M suspension + DDC - with both set to comfort setting. Sadly, in the US, it appears that initially we only get to pick one I am afraid that the answer is that for more comfort, one had to get the 2-axle air, which I means I have to give up the beautiful styling and that lovely Carbon-black color - and I am not too happy to give that up This is for US model with 21" rims, staggered tires (fatter rears) and no 3rd row. x40i (so no DHP either ). As some forum members have commented, it appears that the base ride quality/feel seems to be mostly set by the shock absorbers/dampers, so I am hoping that DDC set to Comfort will help a good deal here ? So is it more like DDC gives you 60-70% of the ride and Air-suspension smooths out the remaining % ? or am I way off base here ?! I guess I will test drive both options and check out when the models arrive in dealerships, but would appreciate feedback from other forum members who have tried air suspension in older models or know more on this. Does it really 'glide' or is too 'floaty' ? The bmw.de website offers some explanation, but still not enough or clear IMO. Thanks in advance for any advice here! |

2 axle air is more comfortable and sporty than m suspension two axle air has all the tools available to m adaptive plus bigger ride hight adjustment. Neither has active roll stabilization which is only on 50i models without 3rd row.

thanks akhter. I wish we could combine M-sport + 2-axle air.Have to wait really long or import from Canada [will be expensive as he$$] or hope that adaptive-M when set to comfort + DDC will offer a better ride than the 2018 X5 base with 19" wheels.
