You can get sport suspension on the xi. I have ordered an xi w/sport. Not sure if there will be much of a difference in ride height vs a non-sport. I guess I shoud have measured one of each at the dealer.
You should have done your homework more! The xi sport doesn't get you any different suspension...just a sport steering wheel, comfort seats, staggered 18" 124's, shadowline trim. It's the same suspension as the "regular" xi.

Damn. Good to know. It's the car my wife wanted; she'll never know the difference...but I may have to drop it just like slickrick needs to drop his

Nice Rick. Use them in good health. I look forward to seeing them in person as well.

All the best
Have to agree the wheel gap looks huge....

What he means is that his parents would have bought 20's for him, had he wanted them...that's more his style too.

I am not sure I knew what my "style" was when I was just passing puberty.

We'll see what he does when he get his 535xi in the August. And please excuse his spelling and grammar, Rick. The boy is only 16! I kid, I kid!
