OP/Poochie "the M2C is lacking it a vital piece of modern automotive technology"
Bmw wants to sell you the better suspension option for m2c at the parts counter "m performance" that looked to be a kw 2way rebranded. All the comfort people will stay stock and be just fine on the street. If your vital modern technology did more than On/Off function, lets say it controlled a 3way kit for all adjustments (6 low speed, 14 high speed, and 16 rebound) that would be cool. The same technology could per corner lift adjustment of ride height like Porsche does front axle lift, and while we are dreaming of more than just ON/OFF lets make that technology also allow adjustable camber plates,.. on the fly! m/adaptive on my m4 is in a box in the corner of my garage where it belongs. |

Completely different technology. BMW adaptive shocks are like a traditional shock absorber but with active values that change damping force. Magnetic shocks have a magnetic fluid(iron particles in oil(ferrofluid)). Magnets control the thickness of the fluid. Pros of magnetic shock technology is they react much faster and don't have moving parts(valves) that can fail. Magnetic shock tech also allows for a greater range between comfort and race settings.

KW's branding of 'V3' is meaningless in the context of adjustability. It's just a model name and has no bearing on its features. |

Without this suspension, wont the M1 and M2 buttons just be another way to program sport and sport+... or two sport profiles? Is that it or am I missing something?

Yea that's pretty much why I was asking. It seems to be just another glorified of saving the throttle, steering and exhaust responses, with no suspension manipulation.. I am almost 100% sure the next generation of M2s will have this feature, especially if 19 inch wheels are the only option.. |

Agree. I hate adaptive suspension. One more thing to break. And they never feel “right”: either not enough of a difference or too much of one, such that comfort is too soft and sport is too hard.

Honestly if you are getting adjustable coilovers it is a waste of money anyways. I would be much happier with the Mperf coilovers vs adaptive suspension.

Personally, I don't want the added complexity / cost of adaptive suspension. I'd rather see the manufacturer just focus on one setting and nail it.
