My understanding (at least in the US) is that sport line and m-sport both have the same lowered and sport suspension. Exception is xdrive models which either have standard xdrive suspension or non-lowered adaptive suspension. Still unclear to me if xdrive adaptive suspension has same springs as standard xdrive and just adds adjustible dampers or it's identical to the non-xdrive adaptive suspension just not lowered.

Consensus is that there are four types;
Standard (non adjustable despite mode) - fitted to Luxury and Modern
Sport (non adjustable despite mode) - fitted to Sport
M Sport - 10mm lower and stiffer (non adjustable despite mode)
Adaptive - 10mm lower and adjustable by electrically adjusted dampers

...is this correct? Any M Sport owners who have driven a Luxury or Modern and can comment on the handling, body roll differences? Or experiences of Adaptive? I was planning on including Adaptive in my build.
