I have driven E70 X5M with adaptive drive and it was impressive. Roll control excellent but more comfortable ride than E70 X5 without adaptive drive.

I have AD on my 2012 X5 and had it on my 08 X5 and would not own one without it. I highly recommend it. Yes it's expensive, but you get the best of both (normally incompatible) worlds, better handling combined with much better ride quality. Test drive one with and without for a day and you'll see.

An update regarding Dynamic Handling Package (ZDH) on the F15's. My October 2015 F15 with ZDH now has 20,000 miles on it... I one hundred percent stand behind my earlier post (if one ignores its (and this one's) many grammatical errors). The F15 with ZDH drives more like a sedan (or sport sedan if you're in Sport+) than any SUV I've had the privilege of driving (including the Porsche Cayenne Turbo (with porche's dynamic handling package variant)). It's just a joy to drive. While the normal F15 suspension is nice compared to its competitor's offerings, the Dynamic handling package is just superb. The chassis always feels (and is) composed. The added benefit of Sport+ just makes freeway on ramps all the more enjoyable. It is eerie how much of a difference the various driving modes impact the driver's (and especially passenger's) experience. I was driving some family through Calistoga to a winery, the roads there are...not the best. So, I wanted to see what Sport+would do and also see if anyone noticed a difference (I have the "driving mode" alerts disabled because I find them annoying). Not even 5 seconds after I put the car into sport+, my grandma turned to me and said: "whatever you just changed, put it back. I don't like the harsher ride. It makes me feel like a bobblehead."
Obviously ZDH is a lot of money and I'm not advocating for people to go further in debt...however, if you're not incurring further debt by adding it, it'd be a foolish option to pass up. An aside: I just wish ZDH included 4-wheel steering, too (or even as an additional option). My aunt's 640i has the dynamic handling package AND 4-wheel steer, it's pretty impressive how tight of a turn it can make. It can U-turn in the middle of a tight, country two-lane road. Living in SF, that'd be an amazing feature for the F15 to have. Quote:

The other weird hitch is ordering an F16 in the M performance trim. If you check the build box, you get a "not available/delete M trim" warning, yet we added the optional rear air suspension on our "build your own" sheet. When the official build sheet came back ~ we have ZDH listed! We are kinda wondering what the actual vehicle will have...and what it will drive like...
