Question New Car Order - Adaptive Drive (Option 2VA) - worth the £2770

Hi,

I am about to press the button on a custom order 535D. I am thinking of ordering this with Adaptive Drive (Option 2VA). Is it worth the money?

A bit of a background...

I had a 520 with VDC (Variable Damper Control - Option 223) and am convinced I would not buy a car without it. The VDC difference in driving is very much noticeable. I then swapped this for a 535D (the 2.0 just did not have enough oomph); again with VDC and as before, no complaints - love the ride. This was on 18" wheels.

I am now going in for another 535. Should I update to Adaptive Drive? I am also looking to get 19" wheels this time or should I stick to the 18s?

So, any first hand experiences of Adaptive Drive with 19" - Is it worth the extra money over VDC?.
(I am definitely buying at least the VDC; no debate there)

Highland Pete: Any comments - I am aware you are a fan.
