Am I going mad or does the X Drive Ride Higher?

Great BMW experience test drive on a car I drove 150 miles to "buy" and stayed in a hotel too.

Not so great to learn that the X Drive drives differently and that it rides and sits higher?

Having got on the floor like a tit with a ruler I noted the height is some good few cm higher on the X Drive G11 - than the normall M Sport.

I also noted a different driving experience - dare I say marginally more boat like?

Am I correct?

I went for a M Sport X Drive G11 with autobahn package, figuring that the sportiest version I can order in Canada.

Curious about this. Can anyone else comment on the ride height on RWD vs xdrive?

Also - is the autobahn package a must?
