The ambient air sensor is down by the driver side foglight. There is a little hole in the cover to the left of the light. The cover comes off by pushing the tab in to the far left side of the cover.

Ride height, I don't know the answer.... My guess 1/2" to 3/4" if at all... It might just have stiffer springs...

i think the ride heights are actually enumerated in the bentley manual.If your car is actuallya sport it will ride slightly lower than non sport cars.I would say but a freind has my bentley.
here is a pic of my 535is when i bought it
