air suspension on m sport question
I have a 50i msport with dhp on order and have a question on the suspension. Are they using steel springs or air? My wife q7 has air and rides nice. The suspensions are not clear to me.
Thanks if anyone know the details. |

Did you order with integral active steering? think the 50i m sport has m adaptive pro suspension with has all the bells and whistles and uses air plus edc plus active roll stabilization.

The Dynamic Handling package on the 50 includes integral active steering in the US. They do not distinctly mention the 2-axle air suspension, but given that air suspension is required to have the integral active steering, pretty sure that the 2-axle air suspension is part of the M Adaptive Professional Suspension

Sorry but you are talking nonsense.. M Adaptive Professional Suspension havn't air suspension. I know that BMW is ashamed of it, it hides it, but that's the truth. Merc and Audi are much better in air suspension technology.

OP said he has ordered DHP (Dynamic Handling Package)
Quote:
I was not aware that DHP also gave you Active Steering, which I think is one of the best options (after DHP). Nice car you have ordered. Good luck and please let us know how it is once you receive it. |

According to the order sheet the US market M Sport suspension is not air although they don't make it easy to see. Some here have suggested that air suspension on m sport will be an option in a couple months. In other markets, it is already an option, such as Canada.

It seems that were about 50/50. Some of the problems with this new car is the lack of clarity. The dealership has no idea whats going on because the manufacture isn't telling them. I have a December build for the tech but like everyone else have not seen a car.

On the 50i, ZDH does not include or comes standard with 2VR 2-axle air suspension. ZX5 active roll stabilization employs electric swivel motors to enable compensation of body roll under dynamic cornering.
On the USA order guide notes, 2VR cannot be order with ZMP.

Adding 4UB will remove 2VF (adaptive M-suspension) and add 2Vr (air-suspension). Costs $1000 if ZMP is already added. I hope this stays correct. This is my path to nirvana (CB M-sport + air-suspension on 21inch wheels ). I get true comfort and sport settings this way. I have minimal use for the 3rd row seats, so it will be folded down most of the time, but it will bring the above benefits + allow the 2nd row to recline and slide as needed - which will be a plus. |

I've seen a photo of the center console with only 1 of the switches. So you can have 1 without the other.

Correct. No air-suspension, no off-road package...no switches.

What's weird is that the thread below shows an m sport with the 2 silver switches.

Yes, the suspension options appear to be all a bit of a mess depending on where you are located in the world.
Take the UK for example. You order M sport on the 4.0 petrol or 3.0 diesel .. yet you can't have the adaptive M suspension at all. You can have air suspension though !!! |
