Comfort setting

Does one need to add the Adaptive M suspension in order to get the comfort setting or is the comfort setting part one of the standard features, such as M Drive and M Driving Dynamics Control, or some other feature that I am unaware of?

I do lots of stop and go driving intown on some bad roads so the commute will likely have to be set to the softest setting.

Thanks for the help!

Adaptive suspension is needed to have a comfort setting. The standard suspension is a bit stiffer iirc.

From what I've heard, Non-Adaptive is somewhere between Sport and Sport+ on adaptive.

If you mean "Comfort" suspension setting, then yes, you do need to have the adaptive suspension. The fixed suspensions is just that, a single fixed setting .

It kinda depends on your preference. If you don't mind a bumpier right then you don't need it. If you would like a softer ride or want the options to choose the go for Adaptive Suspensions.

But if you are 100% sure you will change your suspensions then don't get Adaptive.
