I do not mean to be snarky, but you saved approximately 1% of the cost of the car. I suppose that’s okay if you truly did not want the feature, but did you dislike it that much?

In 2020 adaptive suspension was a higher cost option offered, more than 1%.
I felt no need.

I ordered my 2025 M340I without adaptive by accident. I literally was going to cancel my order the next week and reorder a new one. The BWW sales manager convinced me to keep the order as built since I had a production slot assigned and said if I do not like it when it arrives, he would order me a new one. I am pleased to say, the ride without adaptive suspension is not too harsh. This is coming from a 53-year-old who wants a comfortable ride. I am not saying adaptive would not have been nice to have, but the ride harshness is also not as bad as some people on this string will lead people to believe. Just my opinion.

If it did not enter production you can add adaptive suspension. Salesperson should be able to do it.

Sounds like you have nice roads in your area. However, driving in Dallas area without adaptive suspension is asking for back pain issues down the line.

I have the G22 with adaptive suspension, comfort and road holding are very good
A must-buy option

Yeah wheel/tyre size, profile, sidewall, etc., matter a great deal. Adaptive is not a cure-all to bad roads or potholes and not the rave we make it out to be on this forum. This is coming from an M340i owner with Adaptive on 19” PS4S non- rft.

Adaptive can help with the right setup and depending on chassis too; for the price it doesn’t hurt to have it but I won’t loose sleep over the lack of it. I’ve heard it’s softer on the latest G20 build compared to previous gen but haven’t had a chance to test drive.

Now get the painted reflectors and M Sport badges for that true Euro spec look.

I ordered, they were able to accommodate. Did you use a heat gun or is a good hair dryer fine to heat up the area?

I brought my car to BMW and they installed them and put the fender emblems on as well. You can have any local bodyshop do it for you for a couple hundred bucks too. If you want to do it yourself, I've read that a hair dryer can work, but I'm unsure.

Exytremely easy with a hair dryer.
