With that being said please read the last page or two of this thread.. and pay (close) attention to the photo posted from BMW's website. We have beat this to a pulp. |

It has been beaten to a pulp. I've read every post at least once, but I'm not sure I saw any conclusion. BTW, the description on the BMW website doesn't say much of value, IMO.
Both Sport Individual and Eco Pro Individual allow for selection of a Damping mode, either Comfort or Sport. Who's on first, if I follow, you were hoping there would be a third choice, "automatic" (adaptive). Or an explanation of why it's not there. Is that correct? |

The photo from BMW (imho) does add value, if only to highlight the fact they sell it as a suspension setting and not a drive mode.. as what everyone is saying it is. They strictly talk about it being a suspension option. The opposite what everyone else is saying. |

Within the Drive Performance Control, you now have more options than the previous F3x models with Adaptive M suspension. You have the improved Individual setting options and the additional Adaptive Mode. Once you grasp the additional Adaptive Mode is a separate setting/mode within the Drive Performance Control options list, I can't see how there is a problem. You've not been sold some oddity, you have got more options for running with the Adaptive suspension than previous generations. Last edited by HighlandPete; 09-25-2019 at 03:12 AM.. |

Perhaps the broad description (from BMW material) of the Adaptive Mode function for the G11/12 will help to clarify that Adaptive Mode is a complete, 'stand alone' programme, within the Drive Performance Control suite.

BMW calls (and describes) it two completely different ways. 1) Adaptive Suspension 2) Adaptive Drive Mode |

Forget "Adaptive Mode" for a moment, you have adaptive suspension in all modes. I assume you don't have an issue with adaptive suspension in Comfort, Sport, or even Eco Pro Modes, however you choose to set the suspension option? So you run adaptive suspension in all those modes. Why do you have an issue with the additional Adaptive Mode programme in the options suite? |

As I understand it from my research is that the standard passive M sport suspension will give a stiffer ride than the adaptive suspension, but it will provide a more consistent feel and better handling than the adaptive one, that is why I did not order my M340i Xdrive with this option as I intend to track this car once a month. I'm willing to give up comfort for a more sportier feel.

In the individual modes you can save different settings for suspension, steering and engine. You can have the suspension in comfort mode, but enjoy sport steering and gear shifts. I have adaptive M suspension on my 330e xDrive and it rides very comfortably, glad I ordered it.

Hey everyone, I'm planning to get a new g20 but I'm having trouble picking up suspension type and here's why.
So, there are 3 types of suspensions, base, m sport and adaptive suspension, right? I test drove an M sport suspension and it was extremely stiff. It's out of question. Adaptive suspension will be a no brainer upgrade, but the problem is that I wanted to go with 318i model but the adaptive suspension is not available for that model. It's available on all other motors except 318i. So in order to get the Adaptive I would have to go with the 320i which will be a price difference of at least 5000 euros which is quite high considering that I would be fine with 318i with 156hp. So now I'm thinking of getting a Sport line instead of M sport package. However, here comes my first question, can I have a base suspension (delete the M sport suspension) on an M sport package? The second question is, if anyone have tried both the base and the adaptive suspensions, which one is more comfortable, the base suspension or the adaptive. I one review, Tomas from Autogefühl said that the adaptive suspension is slightly better (more forgiving) that the base suspension. That tells a lot, as he had tried both of them. But I would like to hear few more opinions from you guys. |
