Stick with the facts and stop spreading nothing but speculation guys...

Fact - US spec cars do not get the 706 Msport suspension that the 13's did (verified by BMWNA)
Fact - Nobody here has tested for themselves how the 14 and 13 Msports feels with passive suspension
Fact - Nobody knows if the old 706 Msport suspension is better than the current suspension in the LCI's
Fact - BMW has publicly announced one of the biggest enhancements of the 5 LCI is better handling and steering which was verified by atleast one magazine test so far (edmunds)

Didn't BMW USA tell you that all F10's get the same suspension. I.e if that's the case that means it's a "base" suspension. Problem is even if it does handle better than 13's there is a true M sport suspension and European F10's get it, therefore regardless the US cars get short changed with a non M suspension not to mention US M Sports get a base i.e high ride height, not the lowered ride of the true M suspension on the 13's (or I'm assuming obviously LCI's with M suspension overseas).
