I'm not sure M adaptive was available independent of the Dynamic Handling Package (which is a combination of VSS and M adaptive) so I'm guessing he does have VSS as well.

Thanks for the very complete review. The 437M reps look great. Would you mind sharing a link to where you found them? The car def looks better (esp with the new tires/wheels) even if the drop doesn't seem very dramatic.

For frame of reference, I'd added a couple shots of my bone-stock F30 N55 xDrive with M adaptive. These measurements were taken with 1/2 tank of gas on OEM 19s with Conti DWS 06 tires in OEM sizes. Gap was measured from top of rim to bottom of fender: 4 5/8 in front and 4 1/2 in rear (so only 1/8 difference but it actually appears more significant that that to the naked eye...funny how your brain can detect such a mild difference).

Anyway, even if I had tiny Donald Trump hands , there's no way I have anywhere near a fist worth of gap (I'd say 2-3 fingers both front and rear depending on how I angle my hands) so I'm not sure why our OEM ride heights are so different on otherwise very similar cars.
