I'm not saying it's going to happen, but (as previously discussed) with the current M4 ending production around June 2020, the timing would be right

Other than potentially dissuading or upsetting a few M2 CS buyers, I think it would make sense
What's the appeal of having adaptive suspension exactly? So there isn't a blank button on the center console? For the extra cost (and weight) why not run a set of proper coilovers, be able to adjust height, and subsequently tune the suspension to your liking. Won't a proper suspension setup provide better performance? Albiet, coilovers won't carry a factory warranty, I'm just curious.

You aren't going to see an appreciable increase in performance on backroads by setting the suspension to an overly stiff mode. If you're that serious about being able to adjust you suspension, then a proper setup makes more sense no?
For me personally, I want the ability to soften the suspension during daily driving duties and firm up on the weekends doing mountain passes.

I'm lazy and incompetent to install my own coil overs and adjust accordingly. Just wanted something simple from the factory that meets my needs. Therefore, this is why BMW made this car. For people who don't wish to get their hands dirty with various mods haha.

Now, I do admit I don't know how soft or firm the adjustable dampers get. But in my mind, there is quite the difference, this is why I want it! In addition to the soft merino leather seats for my butt.
