Dynamic Handling Package now included with 2015 M-Sport?

AudiA4 · 10-15-2014, 11:27 AM

I was just perusing the interwebs, looking at a window sticker of a new 2015 M-Sport, and clear as day on the window sticker, it now says that the "Adaptive M Suspension" is now included with the M-Sport package, and the "Dynamic Handling Package" at $1,000 is defined as "Variable Sport Steering."

If this has been discussed previously (and I'm a fairly regular forum participant...at least as of late), my apologies. But if this is the case, excellent news in my opinion.

interesting...

ffejk · 10-15-2014, 11:45 AM

Hmm I noticed that on my build under the tracking my vehicle (435GC) on the bmw website.

I didnt order Adaptive M suspension, but its listed under M Sport (which I did order) beneath the M Sports suspension feature.

However, i know this can be wrong, as it also shows estoril blue finishers...

As I responded in the other DHP thread, this is not the case on BMWNA's website.

If you configure a RWD m-sport car, and select DHP, it's described as "adaptive M suspension" and "vss". It will also remove the m-sport suspension and replace it with the adaptive suspension. Suffice it to say, you get both the adaptive suspension and vss.

If you configure an xDrive m-sport with DHP, it's the same, except there's no m-sport suspension to replace. Again, you get both adaptive suspension and vss.

VSS is not a separate option as of now. Maybe that will change, and they'll separate the two? I could see that happening, but I'm not sure why they would automatically add electronic dampers to the m-sport suspension as part of the overall package.

My build hasn't gone into production yet, but I'll keep an eye out for this.

Separating VSS would be the best thing that could happen!

My first F30 M-Sport had the passive suspension, but when tracking the order they erroneously listed adaptive suspension. Others have had the same error.

Was it RWD or xDrive? I'm guessing it's just an internal system glitch, but who knows...

Not according to the official BMWNA Ordering Guide.

Please post a pic of the actual window sticker. The link does not work.

My 2013 M-Sport sticker is identical to the one posted. That's how BMW lists that option.

Correct. The window sticker is misleading. On M Sport models without DHP the sticker shows "M Sport Suspension". On cars that have DHP the M Sport Suspension listing is replaced with "Adaptive M Suspension". The adaptive suspension is NOT actually part of the M Sport line

Nah, it's just the way BMW prints the Monroney. Here's a photo of mine:

Probably just the way the software is designed.

They don't want to print both the standard and the upgraded features on the sticker, e.g. "m sport suspension" under "M Sport" followed by "m adaptive suspension" under "DHP". That would just cause confusion.

So what they do is assign a priority to each feature for the sticker display, with M Sport getting a higher priority than DHP. M Sport must have an entry for suspension, so they list the upgraded suspension there and take it away from the lower-priority feature description, DHP in this case.

I just bought mine. 2015 Estoril Blue 335i xdrive
I thought the car had the DHP.
It does not to confirm.
Little bummed.
I am looking for some springs... So far I don't like how low the H&R sits. Little low for boston winter weather. Any suggestions guys?
