2013 vs 2014 is M-Sport 704 suspension the same or different?

2013 vs 2014 is M-Sport 704 suspension the same or different? I've looked on here for the answer but can't find if it has been changed to be softer firmer, any changes? Just wondering if my 2013 M-Sport would ride and handle the same as the 2014 LCI with the 704 M-Sport suspension.

If you go to www.realoem.com you can compare and see if anything has changed.

Yes but does anyone know for sure if BMW changed it?

Similar discussion here.

Seems there is about a 1/2" drop between the two visually and first impressions are looking good

It seems to be unknown at this point. Realoem only shows July builds and earlier for the U.S. (there was no 704 in July) but it does show M Sport suspension parts which differ from the 2013 parts. I wouldn't trust it at this point. The European version on realoem only shows through June builds which were 2013's.
The 2013 and 2014 MSport ride height is the same - no difference in drop.
The steering feel is definitely better in the 2014's and the suspension is slightly firmer but still provides a very comfortable ride.
