ID my suspension, please?

Hello all,

Please forgive my newbness. I've tried to answer this question myself, but I fear I've cross checked so many sources that I don't know what I'm looking at anymore.

I recently got into a '15 435i xDrive M-Sport and am looking what my suspension options are. Love the ride, hate the stance. As far as I can tell at this point, I need to determine if I have the DHP. I'm inclined to rely on VIN decoders to tell me and it appears I don't. But, the more I read, maybe that's not the final word.

Anyway, here's a couple pics of the backside of the driver front strut assembly. Can someone tell me a) what suspension package this is and b) what lowering options/custom setups I have.

Setting me straight in my confusion is greatly appreciated

Perhaps I didn't post enough information to go by? Anyone have anything to offer?

You have the standard xDrive suspension. If you had adaptive suspension you would see a black tube sticking out perpendicularly from the struct.

Those lines you see are the pad wear sensors.

Congrats, you're free to do any 3rd party suspension option out there without worrying about EDC-delete

Awesome info. I felt like i was close but wasn't sure. Better to ask the experts.

Now, to go shopping!
