M trim suspension difference
Going for a 2.0i but what difference does the M trim make to the ride as it is described as having a sports suspension?

M trim suspension difference
Welcome to the forum!
As I understand it, the MSport suspension is lower and harder. I drove an MSport on my test drive but ended up ordering non Msport as I value comfort these days! The rest of the MSport package is cosmetic, so I decided to spend my money on something more useful and specced the Technology Pack instead.
The only real way to decide is to drive both, but non MSport models are hard to find I believe.

I'd say lower and firmer but also very supple...there's is none of the crashing and banging over bumbs and potholes as per the msport suspension on the E89.
