Suspension Modes

Hi All

so ive had my 2018 M5 for over a month now. Great piece of machinery and engineering!

Now I make use of my M buttons on the steering wheel on every drive. So I have a question. Do any of you notice any difference in feel with the different suspension settings? Reason I ask, is I cannot and dont notice any change in any settings.
Our roads in the UK arent so great at the moment, so plenty of bumps and pot holes around.

Yes you should be able to tell the difference especially between comfort suspension and sport+ suspension.

I notice a huge difference between all 3 modes. Maybe there's a problem with your car

The OP could scan for shadow chassis codes, but if even 1 strut connection is not working the rest will shut down and a visible CEL for chassis code triggered and the shock control button will not change settings. The OP says he is able to access the settings.
