For 2007 models it is called "Adaptive Drive"...dont know why they would change the name.

In the U.S. it is included in Sports Package (2007 model)...I would assume it is in 2008 too, but not sure.

its true that in uae the e70's with sports package doesnt have that "sport" button ..

i dont think its called automatic damping control .. that has something to do with the brakes when they're wet !!!

what does adaptive drive do anyway ? and how does it make it so good when cruising around in jumeirah , infront of japengos ?

There is a great video of adaptive drive somewhere .. it senses roll etc and adjusts the shocks , sway bars etc to compensate... It use a high speed networking protocol called Flexray... Your sport pack suspension in UAE may be like other countries outside US.. simply upgraded shocks that are not adjustable.
