So from this pdf file :
1- you cannot choose the confort setting if you do not have ZNR 2- By default, M-sport comes with variable sport steering set to sport. 3- Sport dampers with sport+ setting requires ZNR |

The M Sport pkg does not look like it includes adjustable shocks. Both pkgs include the buttons, they just affect the vehicle different ways. |

I'm just happy that it appears we're getting this function in the M Sport.

I've asked this question many times and the fact is:
* Dynamic Drive Control (ie the rocker switch to change from normal/sport/sport+) controls the variable steering or the Dynamic/Electronic Damper Control (ie the suspension) or both. The M sports package has the variable steering control which means you get the rocker switch and can change the steering dynamics only. If you order the Damper control as well, the system will change suspension also. Hope this clears it up. |

This *could* be different in the UK... but I respectfully disagree. Active Steering (or whatever sort of Sports Steering) they are calling it now is not what those buttons are for. BMW's Active Steering system has no driver controls or settings. The NORMAL, SPORT, SPORT+ buttons are for the stiffness of the suspension.

That is the consensus so far... only one real life vehicle has been delivered (that has been posted) so far. I will have mine next week sometime and then the mystery will be solved. At this point, I really don't know what to expect the first time I peer inside and look at the console. But I am hoping to see those two buttons there.

Truecar added this when bmwusa.com had an error that listed DDC as part of the M sport package - but they subsequently removed it from the list of options. Since BMW removed it and the discounted DHP package costs far too much if Performance Control and DDC was already included in M package - I believe it's NOT included.

The problem is, that all the published material is months old, and we all know better than to trust the configurator. We have seen photos of two M-Sports so far, the gray one (a 28i) on eBay, and Boy-With-Joy's new AW M Sport 35i. Both were configured WITHOUT Dynamic Handling Package - and both HAVE DDC installed.
I'm holding on to my hope.

Again -- this is 100% confirmed, US Spec M-Sport package includes Dynamic/Electronic Damper Control. Also (and this may have been confirmed) wheels are NOT staggered. |

The Canadian configurator has been amended very recently. You can see it at www.BMW.ca
In it, if you select the MSport pkg, that gets you the Performance Control. BUT, it does not get you the Dynamic Damper Control. You have to add the Dynamic Comfort Pkg ($1500) to get the Dyn Damper Control. When you select the DynComfort Pkg, it has two items - the Performance Control, and the Dynamic Damper Control. Further the detail says "Includes Dynamic Driving Control Modes (Normal, Sport, Sport +), and it further shows the Performance Control already selected (via the MSpoprt pkg). Thus, the Dyn Comfort Pkg at $1500 in Canada really only adds the Dyn. Damper Control. The switch for DDC may be there in some configurations but it does not adjust the suspension. I cannot believe that the Cdn cars will be different than the US cars. Mine should be here next week and it will have both MSport and Dynamic Comfort pkgs.

Hi guys,
It looks like US-spec M Sport equipped cars come with the Dynamic Handling package included. See the attached image (hopefully for good proof). This was a X3 brochure received from a local BMW dealer two days ago. All of the items listed underneath "Dynamic Handling Package" are included by default in the "M Sport Package" as well. |

That would mean the Cdn and US cars are different, ie. the MSport pkg has different componants in the US vs Canada. This doesn't make sense to me at all - but could be true.

If this is true, then BMW wouldn't let you pay for the dynamic handling package once you have selected the M sport package...
Right now you get a $100 discount if you choose the m sport package Quote:
