I'm seeing a few negative reviews. Maybe I can hear a few positive. Picking mine up tomorrow.

Picking mine up next week. I've driven multiple cars with the air suspension and love it. Not as firm as the adaptive M, but that's not the point. I haven't driven IAS, but majority of reviews in this forum are positive.

Good luck, look forward to your review!

Yep. All good and happy. Sport plus mode gives you much firmer feel than comfort mode. And even in comfort mode it will probably outhandle any other suv out there. Ais is awesome as well. Don’t pay attention to all nay sayers... it’s SUV after all. It’s silly to expect it to handle like M car. I will take my x5 over my M4 any day.

Nothing against nay sayers, but we're very happy with our air with IAS. A bit floaty, but that's what we preferred in a SUV.

I've always hated IAS, had it once on my E90 and it ruined the experience for me. Just one persons two cents. I drove the base X5 and it handled and steered extremely well in that form. I didn't think the ride needed to be any softer than in it's standard comfort setting.

I have exactly same setup and love it. IAS makes it turn like a much smaller car!

No regrets at all.

Use "Sport individual" mode with steering and suspension set to Sport. Best of both worlds.

Thank you. I'm hoping I feel the same way. I'm putting those settings on as soon as I turn it on. Lol

40i, Air + IAS and it is great.
I was worried too given all the nay sayers. It is definitely different, but very comfortable and hunkers down in Sport mode. The IAS is fantastic as well, the car is ridiculously agile in parking lots, etc.

How is it when you are on a road with curves?

I just picked up my car today. It was raining in New Jersey so I didn't get to drive much besides the fact I was in the dealership most of the day. I thought comfort mode was a little floaty but once I went into sport or sport plus everything tightened up nicely. Granted i only drove 36 miles.

It beats me why some people are not happy.

My last 2 vehicles were SUVs so maybe that has something to do with it. If I was coming from my 5 series maybe I would feel like it's floatier. Either way it was fun playing with the suspension controls. I had no issues with the car so far other than that my 3D remote view is not working. My dealership had my NFC card ready. I'm going to sit in the car tomorrow and play with the controls a little to learn to navigate them better. The usbc ports through me off a little bit I understand most products are moving to that connection. My m sport brakes didn't squeak. I'm very happy so far.

This magazine review liked the Air Suspension; first feature they cited actually.
