I also agree the standard E60 suspension, (like E90 standard suspension), is a mess, once you get to know it. I'd rate the F10 standard suspension better than the standard E60/1, but that won't be hard to beat. And I still say the F10 is flawed in standard form on 18" wheels. I'm not on about suppleness and cornering, but the way the road comes back via the body and steering. I don't want weird steering feedback and vibration in the wheel, or front wheels fighting for the line over poor surfaces.
I'd imagine the F10 M-sport suspension will be better than E60 M-sport suspension, I don't question that at all. But is it as good as the Adaptive Drive package? That could well be another issue.

I think the best combination for you will be 18" wheels with Adpative Drive (inc VDC). You could ask your dealer to put the 18" wheels on the 535i for a test. (I'm assuming the 535i has option 2VA - Adaptive Drive including VDC???)
