I did some research on that and based on the order-guides from the US and Germany. Adding the Dynamic Handling Package gets us a quite unique vehicle in the US - not available in Germany.
In the US, we have the option to order the M Line either with ZSU Standard Suspension or as an upgrade, 2VF Adaptive M Suspension or 2VM. In Germany, this is a bit different: Every M Line comes with 2VF.
The German order-guide allowed me to investigate what 2VF actually is. Basically, it has the same features offered with 2VM (Dynamic Damper Control and Rear Axle Air Suspension) which is part of the Dynamic Handling Package.
Now here's the difference: 2VF has a stiffer setting. It is the "sporty 2VM". So when you opt for the Dynamic Handling Package with the M Line in the US, you will get the more "comfortable" 2VM instead of 2VF. As we know, the Dynamic Handling Package consists of 2VM and 2VP. There is an identical Package in Germany with the same content. This identical Package, however, is NOT available with the M Line. The Reason: The standard, more sporty 2VF which obviously causes a conflict with 2VM. So in Germany on the M Line, you will always get the sporty 2VF and have to order 2VP as a separate option.
In the US, however, you can order the M Line with the Dynamic Handling Package and will get the same, less stiffer suspension - just like on any other Line when ordered with the Dynamic Handling Package.
Our "disadvantage" is that we don't have the option to select the sportier suspension AND opt for 2VP Dynamic Performance Control + Active
Role Stabilization sine 2VP is not a stand-alone option over here.
