Last week I was at the M division facility at the Nurburgring (did a couple of laps with the M3 on the Nordschleife, JOY!).
I spoke to a testing projectmanager and told him my (or is it our?) dilemma: m suspension or adaptive drive. Right now I am waiting for my F10 535d which I ordered with M suspension.
He gave me a clear advice: drop the M suspension and get the adaptive drive.
Why? The benefits of Adaptive drive (specifically concerning comfort/antiroll) are no to be missed.
But I guess those benefits are not so relevant when you only drive the car on supersmooth surfaces (like the french Autoroutes for example).
Anyway, I was convinced and changed my order, included adaptive drive and dropped the M suspension (and IAS as well).
