Questions on 2020 Build
I'm a long time 6 and 7 owner, and just ordered my first x5 -- a M50i. Some questions I have for those with more knowledge than I:
Here's the build currently scheduled for week 39, which I presume is 3rd week of September.
Thanks for any insight -- I still have time to adjust... BTW, I'm located in Colorado and this will be my car for commuting to the mountains. Mike |

I could be wrong, but I'm not sure you can order Dynamic Handling Pack with 2 Axle air...someone may want to confirm this.

Air suspension does make it much easier to get in/out unless your 5'10" or so. Using the number "2" seat position for full down helps too.

If you are driving and exit the vehicle without lowering it, the next time you get in you have to start the car and manually lower it for your wife. |

You can lower it one level while driving. You can do that as you get close to where you are parking, then you only have to go down one more level to get to the bottom. I haven't quite mastered that yet but I'm getting better. |

The OP has 2 axle air suspension
Dynamic Handling Package listed together, not sure this can be done.

ZHP will provide you with the flattest cornering X5. 2VR air suspension will deliver a comfortable ride with height adjustability though it doesn't auto lower when you stop and place the vehicle in Park. If your parking spot is flat, your wife shouldn't have issues getting in at the standard height. I'm personally going 2VR for height adjustment - due to being short along with my English Bulldog (lol), park on an incline - but can firm up the air suspension ride with Sport or Sport + mode. In the end, it depends on what you'd like to prioritize.
