How can I tell if my car has Sport suspension ?
Bought the car used.
I wonder how to tell if the car has sport suspension or adaptive suspension ? The sport mode button ? Car is 2009 35i DCT that's all I know about it. Sorry I'm not familiar with E89 and did some research but I can't determine anything by myself.

Your VIN at any BMW VIN decoder site should tell you. Also, if you look at the base of the struts (dampers/shocks) if theres a little bell shaped object with a wire running from it, its adaptive. Its standard suspension if you don't have the M Sport package, if you do have M Sport, then its a slightly uprated shock with 10mm lowering. Full adaptive is just that, adaptive and you can feel the difference at each Normal/Sport/Sport + setting (ride gets progressively harsh) it also sits 10mm lower.
Non adaptive:  Adaptive:  |
