xdrive ride height
Discussion
Just seen my new 330d xdrive touring at the dealers, it only arrived yesterday so still in its wrapping. The ride height looked very high compared to a rwd car. Do they settle down after a while or is it going to stay jacked up?
Seems too high to me if it doesn't settle so would look to lower it a bit. Anyone done this?

Picked up my 330d touring M Sport on Saturday and it still looks a little high although in theory it should only be 10mm higher than a RWD version which isn't much. I think I'd need to line it up next to a RWD to see if I can spot the difference.
In reality with the amount of speed bumps everywhere the ride height is probably about right.
Initial impressions ?
My car has the M Sport plus pack (bigger brakes) active suspension and variable sport steering.
I haven't really been pushing it so far but I can say that the ride is exceptional, in comfort mode it smooth's out the bumps and body control is excellent. In sport mode it's quite a bit firmer and harsher but it's still pretty acceptable.
I can't really remember how the regular steering felt but the VSS system seems pretty good. It is quite responsive at speed, almost like an aggressive suspension set up so quite pointy which keeps you on your toes a bit!
Once I've stuck a few more miles on it and I don't have the wife in the car I'll give it a proper workout and let you know what it'll do!
