Really? Can someone show/confirm this? Maybe through part numbers etc?
Don't get me wrong at all, I'd love for the M-Adaptive to be stiffer than the normal sports suspension, but all I have is word of mouth to go on. And all that does is cause endless debates on no real facts.
For example, my source was a BMW race engineer at a BMW drive event. Admittedly, the Adaptive was just coming out at the time. I specifically asked him while in Sports mode if the suspension would be stiffer than the normal sport suspension. He said no. But then again, it was new at the time and he may not have had a chance to look at it.
Still, I find the M-Adaptive "feels" less stiff than my old e90's ( although I am on winter non-RFT's right now, but I am trying to compare winter apples to winter apples ).
