My 2012 RWD Sportline has most all the options. I have enjoyed the Sport Automatic Transmission, Adaptive Suspension, and Variable Sport Steering but doing VIN searches on many used models, it seems to be very rare, which doesn't make sense to me.
I'm looking to get a used F30 x-drive M-Sport this time with:
SAT (S2TBA)
Adaptive M-Suspension (S2VFA)
Variable Sport Steering (2VLA)
But I'm finding this combo to be like hen's teeth. Are these options possibly not listed because the are standard in M-Sport package?
Out of 20 models i've done a VIN lookup for (2013-2015, M-Sport, x-Drive), only 2 have had adaptive suspension listed, 5 with SAT, and 2 with VSS. Only 1 car has had the combination of all 3 options.
Am I missing something? I would have expected this option to be very common.

What about adding in the Bilstein B16 49-255935 or did they never release them after announcing them 2 years ago?
Or the B6 Upgrade Adaptives?

Furthermore, couldn’t the OEM Adaptive Suspension be retrofitted?

If they were one click for everything, why is OP finding so many variations in Post 1?
