Replacing m sport suspension

It seems like no one in the UK can retrofit the adaptive suspension for my G20 3 series
The ride is simply too harsh for my wife and kids on 19"wheels in the UKs dodgy roads
I enjoy the m sport suspension 5% of the time when I'm alone driving the car

As a result I a looking for a replacement option to give me the comfort feel you would get from the adaptive suspension
Does anyone know of a product and a garage that can quote me to fit any of the following?
1. A fixed aftermarket suspension to replicate the comfort/SE ride quality?
2. A variable adaptive option to replicate the adaptive bmw suspension?
3. A UK BMW dealer who can retrofit bmw adaptive suspension within warranty?

Thanks again

My understanding is there are no aftermarket options for adaptive suspension (2), and dealers have commented that adaptive suspension cannot be retrofitted (3).

I'm unaware of options for (1), but I think this has been asked before. Try searching the forum to see if others have provided aftermarket suggestions. The model is also pretty new so aftermarket options may be limited.

Easy solition. Replace the 19 inch RFT with 18 inch non RFT and cou have all the comfort you want. Another alternative can be to trade in your sporty BMW 3 with a Mercedes C class ;-)

Agree, if you switch to 18" non runflat you solve the problem.

Styling 790M looks good with 45 sidewall. 225/45/18 front
255/40/18 rear
