X5 xDrive40i/50i ground clearance for all suspension options: standard, 2VR-air/off-road (Normal height), M adaptive (not avail on 50i) is 8.7"

X5 M50i ground clearance with standard M Adaptive or DHP with Adaptive M Pro is 8.3"

X5 M50i ground clearance with 2VR-air is 8.7"

M50i with M Adaptive or DHP with Adaptive M Pro is -10mm lower than the X5 standard ground clearance of 8.7" or equivalent in height to the 2-axle air suspension "Dynamic" level which is not selectable.

2VR-Air
Off-road Level = +1.56 inches or 10.27"
High Level = +0.787 inches or 9.487"
Standard = 8.7"
Dynamic Level -10mm = -0.394 inches or 8.3" ground clearance
Sport Level -20mm = -0.787 inches or 7.9" of ground clearance

TLDR;

40i M Sport with M Adaptive is equivalent to 2VR-air Normal height - 8.7"

M50i with standard M Adaptive or DHP with Adaptive M Pro is equivalent to 2VR-air Dynamic height - 8.3"

40i M Sport and M50i with 2VR-air in Sport mode provides the lowest drivable ground height - 7.9"


Note: all X7s including M50i come standard with 2VR-air. Adding DHP does not remove 2VR-air suspension.
