If you can afford 2VA, go for it, you will not regret it, if not, ditch the DDC and maybe go with passive M-Suspension if you want a bit sportier 5er.
I agree, 'full cream' Adaptive Drive (2VA), or the passive M-sport suspension.

For me, it is the better roll control that makes the suspension. My F11 535i wagon is fitted with Adaptive Drive, best BMW suspension I've ever driven, and that compared against the E39 passive M-tech suspension which I viewed as the perfect BMW road setup.
