E90 335i xdrive SEDAN msport , ride comfort?

jago · 08-21-2019, 11:48 AM

hi all
may look at a 2011 example tomorrow.. searched here but seems most commentary regards the e92/3.
i do own a non-m sport e93. it's rather harsh even on FSDs.
looking for a reasonably sedate daily. wondering if msport sedan ride differs.
hoping for experienced feedback.
thanks john

Nope. There is only one xDrive suspension. No factory difference for sports package, etc.

hi and thanks. are you saying that an XI non-msport is same as XI msport?
mdecoder shows P337A and S715A
that would mean likely no harsh ride issues?

Decoding will only tell you what packages the car has.

AWD cars with the M Sport package have the exact same suspension as the AWD cars without the Sport package. Basically, the M sport was purely cosmetic on all xi cars.

Yup. Though I believe sport gets you the 18" wheels, which, besides cosmetics, might make the (exact same) suspension feel a little more responsive and harsher ("sportier") riding.
