For the x5 they removed air suspension as an option all together or 40i and M50i so they could continue to serve it 100% on the 45e hybrid and X7s
Also in addition to this, could it be that M3 has higher sale volumes vs M4? So therefore it makes sense to keep component stock secured for the item that sells the most.
It sure "feels" that way based on this forums data as well as dealer discounts.
