Its a misprint it should have a $1000 next to it. Build one and see its a package with the VSS. BTW the VSS is awesome for Autox and road racing.

well, i ordered a 2013 car in december, (m sport) and while the spec sheet I have doesn't say i have M adaptive, when i log into mybmw.usa to track the car and it shows the selected options i have, M adaptive is listed.

So like another poster on this thread, I have it too though not on the dealer sheet. So is it standard for 2013 sports i wonder?

I also have tech pkg and prem pkg not that i think that matters.

Please let me know when you're receiving your car i ordered the same car!!
Leased my car exactly when you did but my dealer said the car wont come until late march. The excuse was that i got " M sport and they ran out of transmissions"

I will appreciate it if you take the time to read my forum and tell me if anythings fishy, and also when you're receiving your car.

thank you

Yes when You login into BMWUSA it will say things that cancel each other out. Mine said Sports Leather Steering Wheel and below it said M-Sport Steering Wheel.

They build sheet is what they use to build your car not BMWUSA. The DHP is actually not a very common option. So a lot of dealers do not stock cars with it. I had three dealers tell me it wasn't that great but when I asked to drive one they didn't have any. Rule of thumb is Salesman always talk down products they can not sell you.

To clarify, I'm not talking about "build your own bmw" I'm talking about when you actually track the car, and it shows up in the window, with production number and lists all your selected options. I find it weird that it clearly lists MAdaptive as selected, and it's not in the same 'area' as the Msport package that's listed.

What year was your car? and build date? 2012? Mine was built middle of December.

Mine's a 6speed- i checked out your thread a while back, don't know what to say to be honest. Mine was a car already allocated to the dealer i was at, that matched my exact wants, so I nabbed it the week it got a prod number.

I understand what you mean. My car was built in Nov 2012. It's a 2013. You can ask your CA if you need further convincing.

trust me I'm a glass is half empty guy. I'm waiting to hear back from CA-

I only am providing more details, cause on the website, my car's list of features isn't a case of "canceling things out" as you mentioned. It's clearly listed in selected options. And I don't have two steering wheels listed as you do. So all Im' saying is that your example isn't a direct parallel.

I'm not saying you're not right, just saying its not the exact same situation.

does it mean i have it? no, but it's not definitive explanation either.

No I understand that it is not the exact same thing. I just am an active member at bimmerfest which focuses more on ordering and delivery of the car. I have seen posts like this a ton it is very common as it is confusing. After speaking with my CA and veteran sales staff I was told the BMW Online is flawed and will show options selected that are not. They all said go off the build sheet and ignore online.

I didn't mean to come off as a dick just trying to help. I think whatever you get it will be an amazing experience.

Thanks for the info- I'm almost certain I don't have it ...if I do it'll be a great bonus but if not there's always the m perf kit if I need it...though I'll miss out on edc

To be honest I think if you don't have it the M Performance kit sounds sweet. We just need dinan to make an LSD.

Car did not have m adaptive suspension. It was an error in bmw configurator

Ive just joined this website today, and i have a big question which i hope all you BMW enthusiasts will help me with>....

Going to order a 320d m sport auto bmw in estoril blue, with professional sat nab. vis lights pack etc etc. But i cant make my mind up with the suspension. I have a bad back and anything to firm is a problem. One dealer said buy the M sport as it is and add the adaptive suspension option, this will make it softer and you can then turn if you want back to the normal m sport firm setting. another said buy m sport with deleted M suspension and add the adaptive option. I really do like the m sport design and body shape etc but it just the question on suspension thats stopping me at the moment. Has anyone any experience about this and any advice would be appreciated.

I'd go for the Adaptive M-sport suspension, (there is only one adaptive option), best of both worlds. The "How would you like to drive today?" option.

Many find the comfort setting is ideal for the daily drive.

You can't 'add' the adaptive suspension, it is a factory option, so must option it at production. You can also opt for 'delete' M-sport suspension in the UK, and have the standard F30 passive suspension instead of the passive M-sport setup.

PS: if you post in the UK forum you'll likely get more local answers from others using F30/31 M-sport models with the adaptive suspension on UK roads.

As you've described it those two options are actually the same thing. Adaptive suspension deletes the M Sport suspension. Did they just mean delete the M Sport suspension all together? Then you'd get the SE/Modern/Luxury suspension but the M Sport looks.

Re: the back. I slipped a disc a couple of years ago (ouch!) but I've never had any problems with either the M Sport suspension on my E91 with 18s, the M Sport suspension of an F31 demo on 19s and the ride on my F31 Sport (standard suspension) on 17s is sublime. Not too much help I know but I think seating position plays much more of a part in back pain.

The F3x has a handy 'find the correct seating position' design built in. Unless you have the seat and wheel at just the right angles you can only see half of the instruments

:edit:

Beat me to it Pete.

[PJN uk]

Thanks HighlandPete. i'm new to the site, It may sound daft but how do I post to and get on the UK forum?. I will be placing the order for new delivery in March so i can add the options now. "How would you like to drive today sounds exactly what i need".
So do you suggest ......M sport with the suspension it comes with and add the adaptive option to it OR M sport with the deleted M sport suspension and add the adapted option to that. many thanks Peter

Read my post again. You have three options

- M Sport suspension (comes as standard) - passive, firm

- Standard suspension (a £0 option) - passive, soft

- Adaptive suspension (a £££ option) - active, variable
