If air suspension is so bad why did BMW make it standard on 7 Series, X7s or new X5 hybrid?
You can also apply the same criteria for owners with xLine - they're driving around in the standard adaptive suspension. Or drivers with Off-Road package? Should they be concerned with how poor their handling is without Adaptive M Suspension?
Point is BMW has provided drivers with more suspension options in the new G05 than past X5s.

Nice spin, Adam Schiff would be proud of you.
I never said the suspension was bad, never even insinuated it was bad.
I never said it was poor either.
Air suspension is designed to soften the ride, alter the handling, etc. Adaptive M suspension is designed to be very sporty, aggressive stiff responsive suspension. It is very noticeable when you change between Comfort, Sport and Sport Plus. Driving both a 2016 and a 2020 at the M Performance facility on their track, you absolutely can tell a difference between the settings when making very aggressive directional changes, cornering, breaking, etc. I have NO DOUBT that there would be a difference in handling with the air suspension as that is what air suspension was designed to do.
