Great thread! Thanks for getting the discussion going OP.


Question about the adaptive suspension. Does it change any of the car hardware? ie, if my car is equipped with the adaptive suspension option, but I leave it "off", do I have the exact same dynamics as the passive suspension?


I ask because I know in the f30, if you order the "dynamic handling package", you get both the adaptive dampers (which you can select on and off), but you also get the VSS (variable sport steering) which you can not turn off. I believe it is a different steering rack with different ratios.


I had the EDC on my ZCP e92, and frankly did not care for it much. But it's hard to argue against a $1000 option. If anything, I might just get it for re-sale.


But for now, I'm coming from an xDrive 335i, with the optional no-frills BASE suspension. Frankly I'd be happy if my f80 drove at least as good as a lawn chair with metallic paint.
