Do you mean Adaptive Drive and VDC?
Adaptive Drive also has active rollbars, to keep the car more level in corners, and also includes VDC. And you can only get it on the 530d and 540i and up.
VDC is just variable dampers.

Ok. Yes I mean adaptive drive.

Yup I think adaptive drive only comes can with 530d and 540i.

In Malaysia, we won't be having diesels for the G30.

90% of sales would be the 530i.

The 540i may be priced out of the reach of most of us.

So I guess no adaptive drive for us in Malaysia.

But VDC seems to be a must.

I heard there was a dramatic difference in the handling feel of DHP vs no DHP. I don't think you can just tell the different from just what's written on paper. You have to go test drive both to see the difference. I heard with DHP the back-end can kick out unexpectedly because of no progressive feel. Of course this is DHP back in the F-models but still you can probably use the same synonymous relation here.

I drove the 2017 540i X M Sport today with the 704 M Sport Suspension. The handling was excellent. The car felt athletic and sporty. The steering is much improved and the 540 engine is superb. I currently have a 2014 550i M Sport and I see no need to get the M550iX. The G30 is fabulous and noticeably better than the outgoing F10.
