Here's a guide:

1. All U.S. market E70 2007-2013, regardless of "Sport Package" or "Sport Activity Package" designation included "sport suspension delete" option code (ie., standard suspension).

2. 2007-2010 with Sport Package included Adaptive Drive (AD) within the package. 2011-2013 Sport Activity Package (which replaced Sport Package designation) did not include AD, but AD could be ordered as a stand-alone option.

3. "M Sport" package 2010-2013 included sport suspension. 2010-2011 M Sport also included AD within the package, but AD was removed and became a stand-alone option in 2012-2013. No M Sport package for 35d for any years.

You might enjoy an E70 with AD (look for "Sport" button behind the shifter) but with standard suspension. You get flat cornering but avoid what could be perceived as a stiff ride with the sport suspension.
