Does car sit higher with DHP?

I parked next to my colleagues F10 550i, and for some reason my car sits about 1/4 - 1/2 inch higher (guestimate, didn't have ruler with me). One of the difference between the two cars is that I have the dynamic handling package -- his 550i doesn't have DHP. We both have the Sports package.

Thoughts anyone?

Yes, he probably has the M-suspension which is lowered. With DHP the ride-height is the same as "normal" suspension.

There is no M-suspension in the US.

In the US though, either the sports package or DHP (which requires the sport package) has the same lowered aspect as the M-suspension in Europe. (10mm I believe)

Also note that the springs do tend to 'settle' over time, could be that also.

My colleague had the car maybe 2 months before mine... I hope it will settle soon...
