oh really, I always think when we lower the setting to sport setting, the damper is tighten up. are the dampers electronically adjustable?

I have not ever seen anything saying that the damping is effecting when lowering the height using the rocker switch. It is of course when you use the DDC Sport button. The docs mention that the transmission is altered in some instances when using the rocker switch, high and off-road mode so would imagine that it would have mentioned the damper control being altered if it was also.

Yes, all suspensions for the G05 have electronic damper control.

Oh understood. Thinking back a bit, I know why I made that assumption that damper setting is tight to suspension height. It is the Electric Individual setting. If I set damper to comfort, car will use mid level. If I set to sport, car will use -1 height. Making me think they are related. But I agree, I cannot say for sure. If I use Hybrid mode and reduce height to -1 by the rocker switch, what is the damper setting. Good catch good catch!!

Range rover has the feature where if you park the vehicle, air suspension will adjust lower for easier access to the car then return to normal if you start to drive. I wonder if X5 can do that too?

No it can not, you have to manually lower it.
