I have air suspension, it takes seconds to lower, not minutes. You can begin the lowering process before coming to a complete stop.

While I agree BMW should allow for it to be programmable, your statements of it taking several minutes to lower and that the car needs to be running are simply incorrect.
Same. And the reason it doesn't lower with the doors open - mentioned in that thread - is likely the same as in my Q7. So you don't lower the edge of your door onto a high curb, or a rock. Or your lawnmower or kid's tricycle. And possibly bend the hinges. I'm sure no one on this forum would do that. But astonishingly, there might be X5 owners who would. So perhaps BMW is simply trying to accommodate the inattentive, oblivious, unfortunate individuals we sometimes observe walking into a fountain while on their cell phone in the mall. Or texting while they drive. And again I'm sure no one here.
