For a current 5-series, Variable Damping Control is £985; Adaptive Drive is £2,770 The other steering upgrade (sporty steering) is Integral Active Steering at £1,330, so makes the F30/1 Variable Sport Steering (VSS) quite a cheap option.

After reading the above, I had a look at the options etc for the 5 Series. Good Lord, there is so much more there to fleece one with compared to the 3 Series. Serious money.
