Sat at the dealers now just waiting to update the order adding adaptive suspension and the HomeLink options

I have to say, having driven a 35i with non adaptive on 296 wheels I discounted it as too firm for me. When I first tried a 35iS with 326 wheels and adaptive I loved the suspension and ride - soft enough but still firm as opposed to too solid for me everyday. In sport mode with the adaptive on the 35iS it was like the standard non adaptive - if that makes sense. Sport on the adaptive was 'engaging' when I wanted it but obviously I had the usual option of 'comfort' which has suited me better most of the time.

Good job !

You'll be so glad you added the AS. Makes the car so much more versatile. A very comfortable long distance GT in comfort mode and a fun sports car in sports mode. My Bridgestone RFs are way too precious for me to venture into sports+!!!!

What's the "HomeLink" options ?
That's a new one to me!
Sorry, I call it Homelink when BMW call it Universal Remote Control - basically opens and closes remote controlled electric garage doors/gates etc
The only problem I have with the adaptive suspension is that I love to drive the car with fast shifts and TC off so that means gear lever to the left and car in Sport+ mode. Which is perfect apart from the awful bone shaking ride that comes with the adaptive suspension in full hard mode!
Just wish they had de-coupled the suspension settings from gearbox settings..

Presume this is a 35is DCT as opposed to the 35i manual your talking about?

Well the order has been sucessfully changed to add adaptive suspension and universal remote and the delivery date has not changed
Can't wait as my old one goes on Tue this week so going to be without one for a few weeks :thumbsdown:

Great move! I've got the AS on my 35i manual and it makes all the difference when you're going over mixed Tarmac. Bumps, etc. feel less skittish and unsettling than the standard M suspension and in softly softly mode it becomes a gentle cruiser.
Hope you enjoy the new ride!
