I you are not sure, take your car to the dealer!

The car works great without it, some might even
say that without DD: I drive

If you have sport suppension and M body kit, you can not have dinamic drive (at least in European models, M sport pack rules out dynamic drive).

exactly M sport pack includes M sport suspension= no DD is possible.

I have normal sport suspention with DD I luv it and my car looks very near the ground when I sit in it, strange that most of the e60s I guess oem no sport, are seem like being much higher, like compared to a 7er

Yes underneath... if you see this black thing then you HAVE DD.





Why you ask? are you getting the Eisenmann Exhaust or somthing? that specifically says cannot work with cars equipped with DD?

Looking below the car at the rear you can see the mechanism that connects the
dynamic drive system to the rear suspension

Nope not mine... its just a picture I always had. I almost got the quad exhaust when it was new... I was researching it because my car has Dynamic Drive and Eisenmann's website said its not possible with cars with DD so I dug into the reason WHY... and this is why... the exhust pipe runs where the DD runs... a good exhaust isntaller can bend the exhaust pipe enough to get around DD but I didnt want to do do that and then if theres a problem with DD It would be a pain to get to DD with the exhaust in the way.
