I have my eye on a car in Moonstone with Adaptive Drive and M Sport Plus pack at the moment (535d).

Just missed purchasing by minutes a 60 plate ex marketing car which had everything on it except adaptive cruise. Soft close doors, sunroof, individual leather and wheels, the full monty. Shame about that.

The 535d will be slightly quicker at the low end and lets you hand on to the higher revs for longer.

On Adaptive Drive, if the choice comes between 535 and Adaptive Drive - I would go with the Adaptive Drive and choose the lower engine.

If you can get both AD and 535d - go for it
