My 550i exhibits a big difference in the normal and sport mode. I'll crank up the car and start down the road, and I say to myself, "What feels so strange about how the suspension feels" and then, I realize, I forgot to put it in sport mode. I only wish the front struts were stiffer --- it's still too soft. I guess that's with the additional weight of the car and the softer struts. The rear is very stiff although I haven't loaded up the trunk like you have --- and my 4 year-old at 55 pounds and my 2 year-old at 30 pounds is not much -- I need to try some REAL weight and see what happens.
