Re. Suspensions
AFAIK Active suspension is not Dynamic Drive (or not exactly?) It is a feature of 7-series when the suspension automatically stiffens(lowers the car)/loosens depending on the speed you drive. Correct me if I am wrong

From the BMW Technology Guide
Dynamic Drive is an active suspension control system offering an exceptionally high standard of lateral dynamic stability (body stability). This is provided by active anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles - active because rotating hydraulic elements referred to as actuators are integrated in the mechanical anti-roll bars. Incorporating two electronic pressure control valves, these actuators build up independent stability forces on the front and rear axle, minimising body sway when taking a bend. Dynamic Drive thus ensures supreme agility at all speeds, optimum steering and well-balanced load change behaviour. These advantages are particularly beneficial to the passengers in the back seat:

I would definatly go for the Actrive front streering in combination with Dynamic Drive. I had a BMW Driving Training and it's amazing how balanced the car stays with the several manoveres we had to do.
