What I wud really like to have for e60 is Electronic damper control.
The car with sport suspension and aero-kit is too low for parking and uneven exits.
Moreover at lower speeds the ride might be be less harsh

Flowerfred

The brochure states it comes with that. The 3 setting are Normal, Comfort and Sport.
I don't think this affects the ride height though.

In 7-series similar feature changes the clearance depending on the speed.
BTW why there is no Dynamic Drive?

Flowerfred

I was wondering that myself. My guess is that it is an option that delivers comfort at the price of losing a bit of feeling in corners. They probably recon it doesn't suit the characteristics of the car.
Like Active Cruise Control, I feel it should be available as an option that you can switch off. After all, these cars are used for daily purposes aswell.

M multifunction seats are sport seats with auto inflating/deflating side bolsters. The switch for it is next to the ventilation switch in the lower center console.

The M cars have a total different suspension. It is a suspension that is sportier and matches the car better. Dynamic Drive would take some of that sports feeling away.
