Adaptive M Suspension; is it worth it?

I do not know the benefits of having this option.
The other thing I see is that it shows zero dollar to add it, but when you select the box, it comes $900 dollars more on your configuration.

It is worth it if you lease the car.
Otherwise, I wouldn't want to be in your position when the rear air suspension failing.
I got customers with Benz and Porsche that have to spend about $1000+ on each side after 5-6 years of age.

I own and my dealer repairs is high, otherwise I would have bought dhp.
I could not not find any threads where repair cost was an issue.

I will own the car, and also planning to get the 3rd row seat in which you also get the rear axle air suspension. So I will get the rear air suspension anyway.

Adaptive M suspension is only available on the x35D. I am not sure why that is with BMW may be is similar to the damper control+air with other models. However, outside of US markets, the same vehicle is x30D that wears the M emblem with adaptive M. So saw this as an opportunity to upgrade without the DHP.

I opted for this option with 20" and it rides very well. Taking turns with zero or little body roll. Therefore, I highly recommended.

I have Adaptive M suspension on my 35i, so it is available. In terms of having it...since my wife drives it...why did I bother?

I toyed with "to check or not to check" the box for the M-Suspension. The final call to skip that option was based on the frequency that the dealer's service department reported on replacing airbag suspensions on X5's.

I ordered my F15 M Sport 35d with the adaptive M suspension and I very much enjoy the sporty handling of the vehicle in all settings, particularly Sport+. I've leased the car for 3 years... so no concern regarding any rear air suspension issues.
