I know here in the UK many have opted for the "delete sport suspension" on the BMW range, (E9* models in particular) as the ride quality is just too far off the mark to use on our poor road surfaces. Even some of our respected motor mags' suggest that action to buyers in their reviews, something like "avoid the sport suspension, if you want a decent ride quality".

I sense BMW have far bigger markets for the stock range, (even in the M-sport packages) than a few enthusiasts who want low and overly firm rides. But for those enthusiasts, give the option in the M performance range.

OK it is good marketing, but still a 'win win' situation for the customers.
