The latter can be set to Comfort, Normal, Sport and Sport Plus, with corresponding changes to steering weighting and accelerator eagerness. This being an up-range BMW, various hi-tech options – such as unnecessary Active Steering which artificially hastens response at low speeds – can be applied to suspension already fitted with self-levelling air springs at the back and adaptive dampers all round.
