Msport vs. Standard suspension

On anF30- Has anyone driven them back to back? I'm wondering how big of an improvement the M suspension is.

I have not driven them side by side, but I doubt you feel much of a difference during daily driving and on the track or while spirited driving both s@ck anyway... :

That was my impression too. I thought I was spoiled coming from an '11 IS-F suspension, but there seems to be very little 'M' in the M-sport version.

There is a big difference.
Ride height is lower and it is a lot firmer.
You will notice the first time you take an on ramp.

I change my standard suspension for the m-sport, on a day to day haven't notice any difference. On curves the car feels better and it was lower so it looks better.

Friends,
I need advice on Stock Vs Adaptive M suspension.
Planning to order 2016 320i RWD_Auto.

This is the only remaining puzzle which is unsolved.

Any help is appreciated. BTW I am buying for a little commute to work and around the town. Absolutely not for track. I just wanted to experience BMW and its badge.

Thanks in advance.
