Standard Air Suspension

Does anyone have information when air suspension will return as standard on the GO5 I was a bit annoyed when I was told I would have to add third row seating to get it on a car that's supposed to have it as standard!!
Not only that you have to pay for third row seating and for the air suspension costing over £2,200 in the UK.
Having drove a M50D with steel suspension and a 30D MHT with air back to back,both on 22" wheels l would not want this car without the air, and have no use or want 3rd row seating plus it add a lot of weight thats not required.

You reply isn't specifically correct in regards to other markets.

You'll need to be more specific as this forum serves international members with many in the USA.

Your location information isn't shown in the forum mobile app, so discussions are out of context - members have to click your profile to see where you're located.

And no there its no expected date when air suspension is available. The semiconductor supply is increasingly getting more limited.

I think you meant "the exception of the M models", which also corrects the intended meaning of your response.

The restriction and parts shortage is up until week 27 however dealer suggested this is not guaranteed and suggested I should not hedge my bets and delay build until then. Besides the cost of the car will increase by £700. I’m in a similar dilemma and current brochure still lists air suspension as standard. Might call BMW CS and have a moan as they are clearly deceiving customers. My deal is so good I’m in two minds what to do. I currently have a X4 M40d on 21 and adaptive and ride is acceptable.

I feel like I’ve been led up the garden path a bit as well 🤷🏼*♂️
