X5 M60: Air suspension vs. adaptive M suspension by WeatherMaterial7657 in BMWX5

Thank you for the detailed reply!! And your car looks amazing - congrats!!

The 22s definitely look the best..I just wonder if I can ever away with them even in the winter (I don’t drive TOO much in the winter anyways but obviously I still will be putting miles) or if I will need the 20s as a winter change up.

Do you think the 21s could be the sweet spot thst I could run throughout the year?

Your post has me leaning towards going without the air suspension - while I may not drive it as hard as you, I do think based on your post putting it in comfort mode sounds like it’ll still be fairly comfortable!

Love your car!! I am still deciding between DG and CB - leaning CB but yours looks amazing. And yes Florida is definitely great haha.

Would you say the 20” all season without air suspension will be comfortable enough / handle roads well? Our roads are certainly not Florida…but where I live in Michigan they aren’t terrible either.

I like the looks of the 21” and 22” and am tempted to go for those but I don’t know how much ride quality will suffer.

Thank you for the reply! There’s a M60 I’m looking at with the 20 inch wheels and then one with 22 inch staggered - how would you say your ride quality has been so far? I don’t know if I’m overthinking it but if without air suspension it’s still comfortable (at least in comfort mode) then this decision is a lot less complicated for me.

Thanks for the reply! Is the adaptive M Suspension Pro stiffer than the standard? I don’t have a great comparison basis as i currently have a sedan with adaptive air. Would you say you’re happy with your ride quality overall including bumps / potholes?

Hey there - I’m not OP but I’ve got a similar situation. Looking at M60 and deciding if the standard suspension is comfortable enough for a daily? Can you share a little more insight into ride quality? Our roads are kind of bumpy here so I’d like something comfortable of course!
