Clarification in Standard M-Sport Suspension

Looking at a 340xi on the lot at a local dealer. It has M-Sport but not Track Pack with adaptive suspension. On the test drive the suspension was surprisingly good. Can someone tell me if this is an M-Sport specific suspension setup or a standard 3-series non-sport setup?

The sticker says:
[ZMP] M Sport Package
[ZSU] Standard Suspension

Is this interpreted as standard suspension instead of Msport or Msport's standard suspension?

That has the non adaptive sport suspension. Standard suspension is no longer available on base 340i

You sure? I'm pretty sure the x-Drive models don't get the 704 M sport suspension and have the old "standard suspension" still.

Maybe that's true. Doesn't make a ton of sense to me

X Drive cars are all standard suspension, unless you get the adaptive option. 704 sport static not available.
Terrible decision from BMW

xDrives are standard suspension.
Upgrades have been from updating the front suspension from a 3 bolt MacPherson to a 5 bolt design to stiffen everything up and adjustments on the electronic steering software.
