Just bought a 35i which has adaptive suspension, picking it up next weekend, Is the ride height the same as the normal suspension until you hit sport which lowers it 10mm or is it lower than the std suspension in normal mode?
Adaptive suspension

- Start date
Haven't committed yet. Anything I should look out for with the suspension, also how do it ride in std mode compared with the non adaptive suspension

So according to that diagram the adaptive suspension is actually slightly softer in std mode

I actually don't know it's origin, just that it pops up when people ask this question
. It looks like maybe a press release or technical sales document from the E89 launch? It certainly 'feels' about right I'd say, although getting rid of the run flats makes an even bigger improvement.This is a good read aswell:

Personally I really like it, it's fairly comfortable (if a bit loud) in comfort and then Sport/Sport+ genuinely make a major difference to the feel of the drive. Ditching the run flats is a revelation honestly, get rid as soon as you can.
Thank you, Chris.
(The runflats on mine, even the two new, went within a month of buying the car. That done, I run 'BMW pressures' - 36 front, 44 rear - which many members find high, but which I, after 5 years in a 911, find exactly right and comfortable in 'Normal' in the 35iS.)
