Following that i drove the xdrive Msport (which comes without the Msport suspension) it was very poor and the damping control was terrible. The car today and the adaptive it felt as good as the 2WD Msport although, in some way i cant put my finger on, different.

Anyway to sum up were it not for the adaptive suspension i don't think i would order the xdrive i really think it should be the first tick on the configurator for anyone ordering any of the xdrives.
Congrats
