SAPvDHP for the 35i
I got this info sheet from a BMW marketing guy. This is from the training materials for all the CAs...who apparently have never bothered reading it. Hopefully it will clear up some confusion.

Since the packages are very different, I doubt it. |

And yes, BMW has really out done themselves this time. I feel like I've taken on a second job trying to sort through their BS. |

Is the button/switch to change modes between Sport+, Sport, and Normal come with Performance Control or Dynamic Damping Control? Is Electronic Damping Control = Dynamic Damping Control? What is DDC?? Dynamic Damping Control or Driving Dynamics Control? I guess the bottom line is does M-Sport on a 28i come with the switch for Sport+, Sport, Normal without ordering the DHP package? And if so, does it control/change the suspension firmness? For a company that uses an acronym for a name, they don't do very well with creating them for their options! |

I believe so. I think the terms are different for US/CA/AU/EU, but the feature is the same. Quote:
EDC = Electronic Damping Control AKA Dynamic Damping Control in some brochures. Quote:
Agreed! |

Thx so much for this info MA78! I just asked my CA this question when I ordered last Saturday, and couldn't get a definitive answer one way or the other. This clears it up 100%

Funny because when I ordered the car in mid January, my SA said that for the 28i, dynamic handling package was not available, nor the sports seats (or rear heated seats), not even as a special order. So either he didn't know or check with someone higher up (which he said he did), I suspect he lied. Must be a Canadian configuration thing.
I didnt' want to spend the extra $10k to move up to the 35i, just to get these features (plus I didn't want the turbo'd engine). Dave

Yes, $5k on base price, but by the time you add everything up on the 35i, the price jumps nearly $9k over the 28i.
Good to know the SA wasn't trying to pull the wool over my eyes, thanks for clarifying Dave

But it would add the same price to the 28i. So it's not more expensive you are just adding more options that you don't have too.

Mako, exactly what I was trying to say. The added options up the price of the vehicle. Thanks for clarifying.
