Standard on ALL UK spec E53 X5's... Look under the spare for a helmet shaped dome, that's your compressor for the rear suspension. Blue and red air pipes coming out of it.

Ride height adjustment is only available on cars with air suspension ALL round, not just the rears. And those are the 'is' versions.

Any diesel, 3.0 or 4.4 litre petrol will only have rear air suspension, so no ride height adjustment.
