The whole debate on M forums was - which suspension gives you more performance benefits. No one argues that adaptive gives more comfort,.
Understand.

The whole concept of adaptive is, in words of one of BMW's guys, …"as stiff as necessary, but as comfortable as possible". Going to feel different, even if there are similar limits. Not exactly the same brief as a performance biased passive system.

Some of us like the ability to back off a notch for poor road use, adaptive gives that choice.
