You can just about see the difference, (if you know the M-sport stance), but it isn't "on stilts" as some view any suspension, which isn't "filling" the arches.

This is how my car looks. I've parked along side an M-sport with passive M-sport suspension, you can just about see the difference.



The slight difference in ride height helps in that you don't get caught when parking. Seen many a BMW scrapping the front apron on kerbs, some are obviously lowered, but seen a few embarrassed drivers taking a look to see the damage.
