In Reply to: Re: X5 3.0 SPORT PACKAGE RIDE VS JEEP GRAND CHEROK posted by BobbyB on September 24, 2000 at 12:14:05:

X5 has a QUITER ride, SOFTER ride, and at speeds above 30mph - SMOOTHER ride than the Jeep. Jeep is made to go off-road(though it's "afraid" of water *chuckle*), sits higher, and has poorer suspension-to-body dampeners, which sports package with its "rough" ride, has self-leveling air springs. X5 with sports is safer, more fun to drive, and will on the average be a smoother performer(suspension-wise) than the Jeep. Not to mention that in a critical situation it WILL save your life.

The BMW has a more firm ride than the jeep without the sport package. If you don't like a very firm ride, I would not get the sport.
