I was also originally set on MG, but after seeing all four colours the same day I changed my order LBB. All the other colours were OK but LBB IMO is the only way to go!!

I need to apologize for definitely taking over OPs thread.
However after looking at BMWs internal product knowledge website I have come across two very different things. Driving Dynamics Control allows the driver to set the ride, handling and drivetrain behavior of the car through a single rocker switch located on the center console adjacent to the transmission shift lever (logically on the driver’s side). This feature allows the driver to toggle between three settings that tailor vehicle characteristics to his/her desires based on issues ranging from one’s particular mood to outside driving conditions. Each setting affects the following vehicle parameters: •Shock absorber firmness •Engine throttle response •Transmission shift characteristics •Power steering assist level •Dynamic Traction Control mode (Sport+ only) The three selectable settings are: NORMAL: For those who appreciate comfort in every situation. SPORT: For those who desire a sporty, brisk ride. SPORT+: For highly sporty and active driving. Benefits: Allows drivers the flexibility to tailor the vehicle’s suspension, throttle, steering and transmission response to their uniquely personal tastes. |

m235 has adaptive suspension stock in usa market. Other 2 series have it as an option. m2 is passive, nor is adaptive an option in the US market, or any market as far as I know. Learn your product line before you decide to rant/preach |

Pparana you are correct here.... On M3/M4, the passive suspension has a feel somewhat similar to between sport and sport +. I would imagine it would be similar on the M2, but then again this is a different vehicle that may be tuned slightly different.

Adaptive was on my car (m235i, no choice comes stock) it ranged from jello on comfort to pillowtop mattress on sport plus. Those parts found there way into a box on a shelf real quick. No one is missing anything here.

Yea the suspension was on soft end of scale on my m235i I had. Just 2 different settings soft on comfort and less soft on sport and sport + lol. I did enjoy the m235i overall though for street driving as I don't track my cars. I am very curious to see how the M2 feels compared to my M4.

This has been discussed and, unfortunately, you are incorrect. It is clear that the M2 does not have adjustable suspension and there is no impact on ride stiffness regardless of what you've quoted. You are confusing the normal 2 series and also BMW's less than clear documents.
P.S. I wish you were correct

However, it's inaccurate. No adaptive dampers in the M2. Same goes for the stock 1M featuring a V8 engine ?

Driver37: Frank Isenberg was the key engineer behind the 1M and was equally the M2 project leader. In the CAR interview (December 2015) he pointed out that the M2 does not feature an adaptive suspension:
"The suspension is matched to bespoke springs and dampers but there's no adaptive suspension. 'The problem with adaptive dampers is you're changing the damper, not the spring, so you end up with a spring that is a compromise between two settings,' explains Isenberg. [...]

OP, great choice on LBB. It's a beautiful color and a worthy signature color for an M car |

******Agree with this******** I don't know what the chassis/driveline adjustment is or how it is done, but I can certainly feel it. This suspension "adjustment" feature has been on BMW models for awhile now. |

He is not talking " Adaptive suspension " or in any way saying the car has an adjustable suspension like the M3/M4. But there IS something in the cars that's being adjusted with this setting. |

The steering changes, yes, and something in the chassis also changes.. I also played with it and could feel it on a 228 that i drive at the ultimate driving experience last summer. I'm not saying your 2011 5 series does it .. But you might go try again.. ? |
