H&R springs

I was in the market for some springs and decided to check out the H&R web page and see they have a new spring set. These are for adaptive suspension and lower the car 1.2 front and rear. I was waiting for a set to be even for my 228i. How do I know if mine is adaptive? Would it matter if it wasn't and I went with these? Any advice would be helpful.

So, after checking H&R's site, it appears there are two different products for sale for the 228i...
part# 50482 (for vehicles with and without "sport" suspension)
part# 28896-2 (for vehicles with "adaptive drive")

I believe the "sport" suspension referenced on H&R's page is the "M Sport Suspension Calibration" found stock on the US-spec 228i (not sure about the rest of the world).

H&R's "adaptive drive" is likely referring to the Adaptive M Suspension that can be gained by adding the Track Handling package (or found stock on the M235i).

A little more searching for the adaptive drive's specific part number brought up this page showing the new part number next to the existing M235i's part number. It mentions the existing M235i part number being the "low version".

I'm going to assume you'll want the new part if you're equipped with the track handling package.

Thanks for the digging and info. I actually do not have the track package. Next question, would it even matter? I like how it lowers the car evenly front and rear.

Adaptive drive=THP? Could this set be used on a non THP 2?

THP = track handling package. Which includes ASS = adaptive sport suspension

Would it matter being only springs to install on a non track package? I prefer the same drop front and rear.
