Adaptive suspension worth it? M340
Is the adaptive suspension worth searching for on an m340?
It was a cheap ($700) option but I’m not finding many cars for sale with it. Coming from a 2016 340 track handling package car that had adaptive suspension I was quite interested to hear what everyone thought. I really enjoyed it on my 2016. Thanks! |

The m340i with the standard m-sport suspension is pretty harsh IMO. Adaptive suspension is the one option I regret not checking when I ordered my car.

Due to parts shortages the adaptive suspension option was in and out of availability the past couple years. I wasn't able to option it on mine but I don't think the ride is harsh at all but I live in NC and do not have RFT.

Not practical, but according to an ad in the latest Roundel you can get it activated on most 2019 and any 2021+ vehicle that uses their Drive online stuff.
It will possibly turn out not to be that easy, but it should be. They provided four mini (2 or 3 page) guides for that, Driver Assistant Pro package and several others that I already have on order. Last edited by Ratledge; 12-28-2022 at 05:22 PM.. |

Totally agree. This isn't just some software patch, there's a hardware component that I don't see them just putting in vehicles and then leaving deactivated.
