Based on the many photos I've seen, I don't believe it's lowered. BMW's information doesn't elaborate on the "sport" suspension standard on the M Sport, so I'm not convinced there is much difference from the standard setup. I suppose it could have stiffer springs without actually lowering the ride height, but none of the reviews I've read implied the ride quality was different at all. The torque vectoring AWD and increased understeer due to the staggered wheels have both been discussed, but nothing about the suspension. If anybody knows more, I would like further clarification on the matter myself.
