adaptive M suspension
I was trying to figure out what changes come with the adaptive M suspension and whether it is worth getting. Many have posted that it is absolutely worth it, but I can't tell what changes happen up front. I see there is an air suspension in the rear. But for the front, still the same suspension as stock? Or do the dampers adjust all around?

Adaptive M has DDC = Dynamic Damper Control
Lots of info here for you to read. http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=913797 http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1065362 http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1209671 http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1062309 http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=867723 If you are getting the Msport line, then it is a no brainer to get this option at $950. I would never ride on stock suspensions on any BMW.

Thanks for the links. I read the one guy who said not to get it for fear of expensive costs if it breaks. I don't keep cars out of warranty (I usually get extended warranties), as long as it's covered by an extended warranty, I think it is worth it

For what's it worth, I had an E70 with DHP and now have an X5 with stock suspension. They both ride amazingly well. My father's past two X5s have had M Sport suspension, and for the love of me, I cannot tell the difference.

DHP includes the adaptive shock dampers so it will have same adjustments and ride feel as adaptive M suspension, except when cornering when the torque vectoring and active torsion bars kick in. Adaptive M suspension and Dynamic Damper Control (DDC) on non-M sport vehicles are essentially the same thing, adjustable shocks. I personally really like the adjustments and wouldn't get an X5 without it. DHP was a bit too rich for me so I passed on that option. |
