F12 suspension question

Hello all, I am a newly-joined bimmerpost member. I am a long-time 5 series owner (currently drive a 2019 540i MSport) in the early stages of thinking about picking up an F12 for a weekend car. I've long thought that these cars are among the most beautiful on the road but I need to convince my wife of the need for a convertible. Specifically thinking about a 2015-2017 650i.

My questions are these:

1) I am used to ordering MSport on my 5 series to get the 704 sport suspension. Based upon my read of the forums, it seems that the MSport does not impact the suspension setup of the F12. Is that correct?

2) Is there any difference in suspension between the Xi and RWD? I think I read somewhere that the Xi is about 1 inch higher but not sure if that translates to a cushier ride or not.

I may be able to answer these questions myself if someone can point me toward the build sheets.

Thanks in advance for the help. Look forward to getting to know you guys.
