Hopefully it's EDC which would indicate that we can still get a passive suspension with that perfectly M tuned balance of springs and dampers only possible with passive supension.
Just because apadtive suspension appears on the list and has an ordering code does not mean it will truly be optional with passive suspension as an alternate choice. Lots of standard equipment has codes because there may be some configuration somewhere for some application that does not get that feature so it needs to be identifiable. For example, even if just some obscure fleet-only 3 Series configuration does not get, say, a compass then that will technically be optional equipment from the point of view of the assembly line. This, even though every consumer model (especially in the US where low end models are not offered) gets that functionality.
