Question - Sports suspension

Recently received my 3.0D with M-pack. Given the 20" rims and runflats I feared minimal ride comfort so I opted to leave out the sport suspension.
(option nr. 225)

Driving the car I have to say the handling is very good but ride comfort is terrible. Each and every little bump in the road is sent straight up your spine (despite comfort seats) and especially given the general (lousy) condition of the belgian roads the overall driving experience is quite tiring.

When I chose for the BMW over the Merc/Audi I fully realised that I was chosing for handling over comfort but I never expected such a rough ride. (originally test drove standard X5 with 19"rims and that was fine).

One of the things I would like to check out is if BMW possibly did deliver the car with sport suspension. Will ask my dealer but wanted to know if there is any way that I can see if the Sport suspension is installed or not ?

tks

Sam
