Like I said before i've had an ///M before and will again, so trust me I get it.
I dont think you get it
I said air suspension
It has nothing to do with adaptive drive
And it really feels like you're driving different car

I agree with you that an M is a different breed altogether...and you get this more among 3 series drivers, they think they can compete with the M3 but ob viously they cant....the ///M cars are significantly different and upgraded than their non-M variants....I think most people who havent enjoyed a M and a non-M variant of the same model at the same time dont get it...

and to those folks who want and are bitching about how the X5M is superior than the X6M I say, think again, the X6 is a hulk and a cheetah at the same time...the X5 is just so dime a dozen and does nothing as far as I am concerned, be it looks or performance....and I dont even think it has more utility than the X6.....the cargo space is almost the same......

Sorry to dissapoint you, but it does have air suspension. I lowered my truck and there was different setups for regular suspension and air suspension. It also has normal mode and sport mode. It really has a great suspension system.

Great!
Air it is then
Though, looks like Rear stabilizer bar/Dynamic Drive part are the same in M and non-M, but the Strut, rear / VDC / control module are all different
This is what the car rides on and i guess this is where i felt the difference

I drove 50i and M before my purchase
While both cars were great, they rode different
Both were fully loaded and with both i played comfort/sport modes
To put it into plain english, it feels that M has bigger difference between sport and comfort vs 50i
This is why M was a lot more comfortable in regular mode vs 50i and sportier in M mode than 50i

P.S. Purely driving feel. There is also that vectoring rear diff that helps cornering and traction, but that's different topic
