Dynamic Damper Control - Sport Plus Mode?
Noticed on BMW USA's website it says:
ADAPTIVE M SUSPENSIONThe way this is worded makes me believe there are only two settings for the suspension. Furthermore, going through the marketing photos I could not find a photo showing Sport Plus suspension. Thoughts? EDIT: A technical training document released for the X3M confirms, "Adaptive suspension, selectable handling dynamics programs ranging from comfortable to sports in 3 stages."

Dampers in M40i adaptive suspension can only be set to comfort or sport, no sport plus. I believe Sport plus is only an option for engine and transmission settings. Should be the same for M cars.
"Adaptive" mode is more or less a 3rd additional suspension mode and I feel is somewhat smoother than comfort, but this looks like it may not be an option on X3/4M |

Most of the new model year (G-chassis code) 2019 BMWs have switched to only 2-modes on the adaptive dampers. Most older F-Chassis code models had 3 distinct damper settings with the exception of the F30. That only has 2 settings. My F15 w/DHP has 3 distinct settings. New G05 X5 only have 2 settings.

A technical training document posted today suggests there are three modes to the adaptive suspension. Original post is updated.
