I read it the same way, the lift-related design is for passive systems. The function widening the working envelope, similar to the selective frequency passive designs used by some of the competition.

Adaptive has the potential to be programmed to react in a similar way to the lift-related characteristics, if BMW choose to do so. Plus the added ability to have the different base switchable settings (Comfort/Sport), and an 'overlap' of both using the Adaptive mode setting.

I see it this way, we have two passive setups using the lift-related damping, one comfort biased, one sport biased. Adaptive gives you the two in one setup, plus a bit more.
