Hi,
For us the “Adaptive” setting is very interesting on our X3M40i - as it is constantly adjusting stiffness based on road conditions and driving style.
It’s soft and comfortable when cruising down the motorway - but firms up nicely when you come off the motorway and go around sharp bends or roundabouts.
It allegedly used the satnav road data - so that it knows that you are approaching a bend.
It then uses this data, along with your speed and steering inputs to adjust the suspension accordingly.
Really need to get round to coding the car - so that it starts in Adaptive as standard - rather than Comfort mode!
Its easy to forget to switch it to Adaptive - as mostly the switch is used just between Comfort and Sports+.
Cheers
Steve
