Why no adaptive m on 50e?

M2C4ME · 11-02-2023, 08:31 PM

Hi y’all. Previously had an x3m40i and added the adaptive m suspension which completely changed the car preventing roll. I don’t see the option for 50e only on the m60i x5. Curious if folks notice a roll in corners.

The 50e requires air suspension. You will have many folks notice floatiness and rolling and many that do not notice either. Suspension feel is a personal perception. I have air in mine and would say it is pretty sporty when in Sport mode.

Adaptive M is also available for the 40i.

The 50e drives like a big, luxury-oriented SUV. It certainly rolls and dives more than the Macan Turbo with air & PASM that it replaced. And I'm sure it rolls more than a X3 m40. It doesn't drive poorly, it's just a different vehicle.

You will only experience body roll if you do roundabouts or fast corners on 60+ like I do..otherwise you will be fine....
