Has anyone driving one with "Adaptive M Suspensioni" yet?

As per the title and if so, how did it differ from the normal suspension?

Neither of the 2 models at my dealer had the M suspension.

Thanks

I just did, test drive also, it offers 3modes. the time was limited, i just used the sport+ mode at the moment. I didnt try the one without M suspension. so i cant compare.
Didnt have enough time to feel the difference from all the 3 modes.

I am not sure, but I think they all feature the 3 mode switch with active dynamics (or whatever it is called). The adaptive M suspension adjusts the rear dampeners based on the incoming data from the front suspension. It also rides slightly lower (10 mm ~ 1/4 inch).

I am not 100% sure on that, but from the documentation it seems to be the case. Anyone think that is right?

This system it’s not only a static system that only makes the dampers stiffer but adjust dynamically the dampers to compensate the mentioned body roll/dive.

I just took home my Sdrive30i with M adaptive system....
Normal, really good on bad road surface, better than my old Z4 3.0Si qith M suspensions....

Sport: stiff good for twisty road

Sport: OUCH! someone stole my dampers......haha!
anyway,I tested mine on the same roads of the last 007 movie...(if those twisty roads around lake of Como worked for daniel craig, they work also for me...)
really harsch but not too muc, anyway if you meet too much pothole during corners,you need to keep the backend in check, especially if speed is quite high.
