Dynamic Handling Package on 528i Different from 535i & 550i

So the new 2011 BMW 528i is now up on BMWUSA.com to build. I noticed that the Dynamic Handling Package is $1,000 in pricing and does not include the Active Roll Stabilization (ARS) and Adaptive Drive like the $2,700 Dynamic Handling Package on the 535i and 550i.

I wonder why that is?

Guessing on this but it seems the logic I would use would be the vast difference in powerplants. I dont think a 528 is consider a performance sedan such as a 535 and 550.

Same here in the UK, lesser models don't have the Adaptive Drive (2VA) option. Only the Variable Damper Control (233).

So does this mean the 529i models with Dynamic Handling Package get the Comfort, Normal, Sport, Sport+ settings or just Normal, Sport, and Sport +?

I picked up my 523i today. I only specified Variable Damper Control as an option. I have 4 settings : Sport+, Sport, Normal , Comfort. Not only the ride is altered in each one but also steering weight and auto gearbox shift points. You can also tweak the settings manually adjusting "chassis" and "driveline" separately which I think means dampers and steering vs gearbox.
