DHP Comfort Mode
Does anyone know if a 35i M Sport w/ DHP set in Normal mode would set the dampers to comfort or normal? From BMW's site it looks like you can only get comfort mode in DHP if you have the Dynamic Comfort Package(ZNR)

Ok, so there's really no benefit to getting DHP over non DHP with regard to ride comfort. I assume then that the main benefit to DHP is going to be if you want that extra bit of handling performance in Sport+.

If comfort is all u want then I guess the standard suspension will be better than DHP cos DHP has stiffer springs than standard.

Modes with DHP
We have customized the sport setting, by selecting chassis only and not adjusting the engine trans settings. This gives you sportier handling (like our 335) without the economy killing settings for the power system. Just a thought. Great reason to buy the DHP.

The comfort setting is more for the wife when she's driving since it will be a family vehicle. I personally prefer a firmer setup. I was hoping DHP would allow for the best of both.

The Normal setting is definitely a smoother ride than the Sport. Whether it's smooth enough is, of course, a big personal preference issue. It doesn't turn a sport car into a luxury boat. You'll be disappointed if you expect that; and if you want that, the X3 would probably not be your car. If having it a bit smoother than Sport will do the trick, I recommend the DHP. Works for me.
