F25 X3 Suspension

[N54]

Hi,

Look at getting an F25 X3, ideally a 35d.

Does anyone know if there is much of a difference in real terms between the standard and MSport suspension ?

Thanks

Yes there is

I have an F25 X3 with the standard suspension and 18"'wheels and the ride is great

I test drove a few and the MSporr on 19"s was hard but just about liveable with on smooth roads, on 20's it was horrible

There was an option from new to delete the MSport suspension and I know a lot of MSport cars were delivered with standard suspension

My choice was an xline with sports seats and standard suspension and I have absolutely no regrets especially now it's no longer on runflats

I personally couldn't live with an MSport on 20's and runflats and neither could my spine

I've had my X3 ten years now from new and it's a superb all round car .. just don't buy one with big wheels and rock hard ride

I’m considering an x3 35d Msport on 19s with standard suspension

Did wonder if the standard suspension would make it wallowy but maybe standard is the best option

The MSport suspension delete was a pretty popular option, when I bought mine the dealer said most they were ordering had the delete

On 19's and Standard suspension I think it would be fine, certainly mine on 18's is very smooth

Wallowy ?

Well it's a 2ton SUV, it's far from a sports car but mine handles well, only with a full boot and 5 adults does it feel a bit wallowy on the back end on twisty country roads where I live

But, on the plus side I still have a spine
