Is 2008 535i with "Sport Package" lower ride height than NON-sport package 535i?

I know sport package includes sport suspension but is it actually lower in ride height than a non sport package? If yes, how much lower?

Thanks!

It's about 3/4 " lower , interestingly the M5's are about that much higher !!

It DOES lower the car by .7 of an inch. Not much lower, but you will notice it if you park it next to a NON sport E60.
You can always buy a non sport and get springs and shocks... just a suggestion.
My local BMW info makes the Sport suspension a full inch (2,5 cm) lower!

The comfort don't suffer much at all.

Stay with 19" wheels and non-RF tires!
