5 Series - Adaptive Dampers vs Standard (without)

[REKX]

So I'm in the market to replace my 3 series with an F10 5 series.

I wanted a Mercedes C or E class but more open to BMW F10.

I tried to do a bit of research on adaptive dampers or adaptive suspension for these models. I've seen such varied opinions. Some people say it's a must and some say without adaptive dampers is still fine.

I don't need sports performance as in firm sporty chassis because I have a weekend sports car which is firm.

I use the BMW as an everyday car, fuel efficient and spacious to fit in friends and family.

So my question is what are the differences between adaptive dampers and without on daily driving.

Ideally I'd get the one with the softest and smoothest ride.

Cheers

Yeah the thing is I found it a little bit hard compared to my 3 series which I thought was crazy.

I know you lose performance the more softer it is but I take my other car out often which is a proper firm car.

I was going to buy the 2010-2015 shape 7 series which are very good value right now but it's probably a bit too big for a quick town daily driver.
