Throttle response, steering tension, responsiveness of the step8m, exhaust "bubbling".

How do you know? Conjecture or fact.

Thanks. Glad I joined this thread. So this (2011) blurb from the bmwusa site says the Adaptive M Suspension also lowers the car 10 mm - is this true on the 2014 three series cars?

Yes, but not xDrive models.

435i. - I wouldn't buy another BMW without DHP. Great package. 2 cars in 1.

Yes, I agree!

[Philweezer]

I take it that DHP is not available for the 320i even with the sport package?

I just went to BMW Canada's web site and added to a 2014 320i. $1200 Canadian Sheckels. Looks like you can add it.

Well, good thing I saw this thread, joined in, and displayed my ignorance about the M Sport suspension vis-a-vis DHP. I just got off the phone with my CA and he was able to modify my order to add DHP - - literally at the eleventh hour. The car goes into production tomorrow, Monday. Phew! That was close!

Passed on it since I'll be upgrading the suspension.

lucky you. dealers here aren't open Sunday
if I hadn't added DHP I'd be a little unhappy now.

as some have said, BMW doesn't promote/explain this well
my CA didn't understand it; she asked why I didn't want it initially and I said it wasn't compatible with M Sport, but I hadn't read it closely enough; she should have known

next question--MPPK or not???

I am likely going to add MPPK, but not going to have it port installed. I want to feel the difference for myself before and after having it added. I am ordering a MT car, so I can't just drive down to my local dealership and drive a non MPPK 435 with a MT for a comparison test since they haven't had one MT 435 (or 428 for that matter) in stock, ever.

[Gio72]

The differences are in my experience, a 2" gain in the 100/200kph acceleration and that's very good!
After that, I recorded, with BMW LapTimer wich connects to the car ECU, a 4"9 on the classic 0-62mph (0-100kph), starting on a bad asphalt, with lots of skidding of rear tyres
That's enough to consider MPPK a good choice!

I don't see it available in the US, unless I totally missed it.

I couldn't find it either. Then again, Americans can buy a base 328i for about the same price we buy a 320i in Canada.
