According to BMW's site, our M Sport package, although it comes with standard suspension, should also include stiffer dampers.... so standard suspension but stiffer dampers?

Notice that they said it tightens up the Chassis & not the Suspension. Chassis can mean stability control & performance control settings, settings which changes the handling characteristics.
If u have option 225 then u won't have VDC as VDC has option code 223 & they cannot co-exist. If u have code 226 then u have sports suspension & again it cannot co-exist with code 223. |

This is probably the most sensible explanation I've read.

Kind of makes sense although I still have no sense of how you tighten the chassis without changing the suspension. Is it simply less help from DSC?

Just for the hell of it, today I crawled under the X3 a bit and found the wired connections on the shocks (dampers). It is on both front and rear, best I can tell. My X3 has both MSport and DCC pkg so I would expect it to be there. It is.

We are looking to purchase a 2012 (N20) and the order sheet is not available but can the M-sport package be ordered without the premium package (if not then it makes the M-sport package de-facto $6,000 - that's crazy)!

Oh yes, there seems to be very few info from official channels & it seems they made it deliberately vague, until now.
