So a 'xi' suspension is higher than the standard suspension on an 'i' ? |

 The 0.6 inches that you saw is for the difference between an i and an i w/SP. The xi is another 0.2 inches higher than a RWD i w/o SP. So the total difference between an Xi and an i w/SP is 0.8 inches. However the difference is much less than previous generations. You really can't tell now, but you could clearly see the difference on the e46's.

Interesting... I've read on this forum that the xi and i w/o sports package are the same height... So can anyone post a link with the correct info? I own a xi and I can't tell the difference in height between the i w/o sports package and the xi, so I'm inclined to believe that they are the same height... Can someone please verify this?? Thanks...

Well this is not really discussing the suspension, but the actual height of the cars from the e90 Product Info Book.
i's w/o 55.9" and xi's 56.1 inches. And then the i w/SP the ride height is lowered by 15mm or 0.6 inches. Yes it's very hard to tell the difference between a non-SP i and a xi now. It used to be clearly visible. Here's the link to the book from bimmerfest.com: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97527
