Go and drive one with and without and you'll soon change your mind there
Thughh I think the G30 XDrive models do have the sport suspension.

I've only good things to say about them to be honest, but I know my mother-in-law (who bought her Mini from there) has had a terrible experience with them.
I have a good relationship with a couple of the sales guys there, which probably helps, but I've also not really had any problems that needed addressing.

I would probably try find the 1k for adaptive suspension

It's far more than 1k for the proper adaptive suspension. The cheaper option is not a replacement for passive M Sport suspension imho.
£2400 ish for proper adaptive which is a lot considering A6/E class you can have air suspension for less!

Adaptive seems a fairly rare option unless I'm mistaken.
There was a 335D F31 Touring whilst I was deciding what to get which had adaptive but had more miles and looked a bit dog eared.
Was the only one with adaptive (that suited my criteria) at the time on used approved.
There is always the aftermarket option but more money again and warranty issues.

Because it's much more than just adaptive.
I should hope so at that price
It has some trick ARBs and bits like that no?

To be honest I drove the 4 series M Sport but with M Sport Suspension delete, and found the ride a good balance of comfort and sportiness.
Out of warranty I would probably just stick on some good dampers anyway. At the end of the day manufacturers have to cut costs somewhere and that's where you can't see the parts so suspension etc. If you took a generic cars damper unit to a race/rally team and asked what they'd do with the car they'd probably just laugh at you and say we would put a proper damper on it first

Looking at picking up an M2 in the new couple of months, now my son is a little bit older and we don't have to carry as much around on days out, I'm able to justify having something a little more sporty. I'm getting a new family car which will have plenty of growing room in and be for going away etc but means I can get something a bit more selfish as my daily.
Are their any must have options on the M2 or do they pretty much come with anything like that as standard? Going to look at a couple this weekend but the listings online are naff as they are just generic placeholder ones with "Coming Soon" on so can't really see how they differ too much.

Personally I have the usual options that BMW seemed to add to most cars recently; DCT, electric seats, heated seats, HK, folding mirrors, reverse cam, sun protection.
Of those I could do without the electric seats, quite like the folding mirrors and the reverse cam is handy for seeing where you wouldn’t normally be able to (didn’t think I’d use it much), definitely need HK as the stock sound is pants and while HK isn’t fantastic it’s needed to lift the audio to an acceptable standard IMO.
Man of Honour
Yeah I would not want to lose the HK system, love that in the 530. Heated seats are also a must, along with reverse cam. But I'm hoping stuff like that is standard in a car like the M2?
Caporegime
Why would luxury aspects be standard in a sports car?
Caporegime
I think you will find people still don't go for tons of options just because M2 .

True, I'd expect HK to be standard though, and seems to be unless everyone has specced it as an extra
Nope, Pro Nav is standard but nothing else really is over what you’d expect eg climate.
