I'm not convinced this is the case...
For the M5 and M5C, it is clearly stated that the suspension is different and stiffer.

For the X5M and X5MC, they don't mention ANY change to the suspension, at all.
I believe th same is true for the X3M and Comp but I could be wrong
Here's a piece of info from BMW regarding the X3M comp;
1.4. Vehicle profile for Competition model
Chassis and suspension/driving dynamics setup: Adaptive M suspension with even stiffer
characteristics (Technical Training Product Information F97/F98, p.5)

In addition Car and Driver stated that the competition package receives larger anti-roll bars.

I'm assuming all of this will apply to the X5M comp vs base.
