I've got two probs...

1. I HAVE to take the 520d, so AD is not an option. VDC is the replacement but does not do the full job - and I suspect is no better than the m-sport suspension. I think I would just be paying for a comfort mode that I would never use, given my driving preference.

2. I also have a strict budget. I know the dealer very well so already have a hefty discount but cant stretch to both sunroof and VDC.

My gut feel, given the helpful posts here, is that I would use the sunroof a lot more than the comfort mode provided by VDC. I suspect the kids will also love it and that it will enhance the resale value better than VDC as well.

However, if the VDC sport mode is far superior to the straight m-sport suspension then I would definitely consider it - but that is the question no one seems to be able to answer for sure. I might go up to the dealer tomorrow morning and see if they have the cars to do a back to back test.
