Auto Lower when parked?
Can the G05 X5 (equipped with full air suspension) be programmed to automatically lower down to the lowest setting when parked?
I ask because we have owned a few Range Rovers over the years and the first few we owned we would lower it manually every time we parked it. Range Rover referred to it as “ACCESS HEIGHT” because it was easier to get in or out when it would lower. Fast forward to 2016 and they finally introduced “AUTO ACCESS HEIGHT”. The car would lower itself as soon as you put in park. Just wondering if the G05 X5 can do the same? TIA

That’s amazing as Jeep and Ram trucks have had a auto-lower park feature for over 7 years now. Every Jeep air suspension does this. BMW is not really using a basic advantage to even get the air suspension option.

dont think there's no manual function, but oddly enough, a few times, I returned to my car and it was at lower position.
Not sure if i accidentally hit it before i left the car after my last trip, but when i came back to it, it was lowered. almost seem like it remembered my prior setting last time i left it. only happens with my keyfob. I havent driven it much and cant confirm, but will test it out this weekend. |

Our Volvo XC90 had this and it was great for the kids and my wife to get in. Seems like a basic feature that BMW should have.

My understanding is if you choose air suspension option, it will remove the adaptive M-suspension. most people that choose going without air prefers a firm ride feeling more like a BMW. making it standard will eliminate that option is not good for most??

I think he meant that an auto lowering feature should be standard for those who opt for the air suspension.
