Nope - you basically have three options with the M Sport:
1. ZSU (standard suspension)
2. 2VF (Adaptive M suspension, which is essentially the DDC but can go sportier)
3. ZDH (Dynamic Handling Package) - includes 2VF but also adds the anti-roll.

But my question is. When you order the M-Sports line on the X5 and you wanna order just dynamic damper it won't let you. It's takes off the M-Sport. When you order the Luxury line or X-line you can add just the dynamic damper control or order the dynamic handling package. So with that said, is the reason BMWUSA won't let you combine the M-Sports line with just dynamic damper control is that the M-Sports line also comes standard with Dynamic dampers?

It's will let you add M-Sports line with dynamic handling package and it adjusts the price of dynamic handling package from $4,500 down to $3,600. Which makes me believe dynamic damper control is already included with the M-Sports line which would make since since the M-sports line is significantly priced higher than Luxury line or X-line

2VF is a $900 option.

I have a 35i M sport with no suspension upgrades added and I do not see 2VF listed on my build sheet anywhere, nor have I ever heard anything about it being included in M Sport package.

M Sport package includes:

337 M Sport Package N/C
2T6 19" M Light alloy Double Spoke wheels style 467M-with all- N/C
2TB Sport automatic transmission with shift paddles N/C
3MC High-gloss Roof Rails  N/C This can also be satin aluminum
481 Sport seats N/C
4MR Aluminum Hexagon interior trim  N/C
710 M steering wheel N/C
715 Aerodynamic kit  N/C
760 Shadowline exterior trim N/C
775 Anthracite headliner  N/C

I see what you're saying about the DHP, adds only 3600 when I try it too. Seems like maybe it's a bug in the configurator. Maybe someone with DHP can confirm whether they paid 3600 for it or 4500..

What is option code 2VF? I see nothing on BMW USA of a suspension option charge of $900.

Unfortunately it is not on the website. You have to get a hold of the PDF option sheet. It's listed there. Do a forum search and you will find it.

From my understanding. If you do not upgrade to this option, you will get the standard suspension even if you order Msport.

ZDH requires ordering 2VF in combination with ZMM and will delete 2VM in combination with 4UB

3600+900=4500

Yup - Mattbar1 is right. The M Sport defaults to the standard suspension. For $900 more (instead of $1,500 with the other lines), you can get a sportier version of the Dynamic Damper Control that is called "2VF Adaptive M Suspension." If you want the Dynamic Handling Package with the M Sport, you get both 2VF ($900) and ZDH Dynamic Handling Package for $3,600.

I have an M Sport on order with the 2VF but not the full ZDH. I asked the dealer if I could get the dynamic damper control instead (2VM) of the 2VF but he said the ordering tool won't allow it. I wanted it because it appeared from BMW's less-than-scientific suspension comparison chart that someone posted on here that the 2VM was slightly softer than the 2VF.

Finally - the BMWUSA website's build tool isn't working quite right in that when you choose M Sport it doesn't give you the option of choosing 2VF. Your dealer will be able to do it though. (Incidentally, if you choose the ZDH with the M Sport it shows as only $3,600 but the total MSRP includes both the $3,600+$900 2VF.)

(The fact that I know this much about the suspension is somewhat embarrassing, but I suppose I am in good company on this site!)

2vp dynamic performance control is not avaialble with 7 seats and m sports package. 2vm dynamic damper control is not available with 2vf (sports package), because a tuned dynamic damper control is included in the adaptive m suspension (brochure p 33).

Interestingly my CA offered me the choice of "deleting 2VF" when I added ZDH to my M-Sport. The option confused her also, but she said it was "on the order sheet"

Is this merely a default "softer" version of ZDH?

In Europe, 2VF comes standard on the M sport

See the german version of the M description in the picture
