I saw a few articles saying X3 30 can add adaptive suspension as an option(standard for M50)
but I can't find adaptive suspension option from configurator(US)
Is Dynamic damper control option meaning adaptive suspension?

I know that M sport suspension is added if I select M sport design.
I think M sport suspension is different with adaptive suspension.

Does anyone know about it?

The description for "Dynamic Damper Control" sounds just like Adaptive Suspension:

"Dynamic Damper Control adjusts damping characteristics of the shock absorbers in response to driving conditions and road quality. To create a more stable-feeling ride, the system also takes into consideration vehicle speed and load – passengers and cargo. This can be initiated by pressing the button on the center console."

So yeah I think that's just what they're calling it here in the US market.

This is what G45 product details said :

All model variants of the new BMW X3 can be specified with "M Sport suspension" as part of the M Sport package. It features bespoke tuning with stiffer damper settings, along with a moderate increase in spring rate and firmer anti-roll bars. This adds up to an even more direct chassis setup that allows the sporty-minded driver to push the car hard. M Sport suspension is combined with sport steering, giving the car’s dynamic handling qualities and steering precision an added edge.

""Adaptive suspension"" with electronically controlled dampers is also ""available as an option"" for all model variants. It automatically adjusts damper response to the prevailing driving situation and current driving style, with a choice of two settings depending on the ""My Mode selected"". This means Sport Mode activates optimal damper responses for dynamic handling, creating a noticeable contrast to the more comfort- oriented damper setting in the other My Modes. The adaptive suspension combines excellent handling with supreme driving safety and allows the vehicle to be effortlessly controlled up to the limit. This has the effect of maximising not just the comfort and agility of the new BMW X3, but also its handling precision. The dynamic handling capabilities and long-distance comfort of the new BMW X3 M50 xDrive (see separate chapter) can also be enhanced by opting for adaptive M suspension.

The adaptive suspension options are likewise combined with sport steering. This particular version of the Electric Power Steering system features a more direct rack ratio, along with the Servotronic speed- sensitive power assistance also included with the standard steering.


So,, select via "My Mode" on the touch screen to choose comfort or sport.... will have to see the real car to confirm the feel.
