Question M Sport Adaptive Suspension Working?

How can you tell if your M Sport Adaptive Suspension is working Properly? Seemed like my ride was a lot smoother before, and less crashy over bumps.

When I demonstrate how it works to others i do slalom in the different modes. There is clearly a difference.

I do feel the chassis stiffen up when switching modes. But was wondering how it was handling adapting to the bumps in the road, where it seems a bit more rough now and crashy over bumps than before.

Before, the car would stay level while going over small undulations in the road, now the whole car moves up and down over the undulation.

I actually had the same feeling lately. It turned out to be the tire pressure. After getting the pressure right mine was OK again. I am running 2.8bar in 19" wheels.
