I have adaptive and to be honest I'm very close to taking the decision to fit the Ohlins Road and Track coilovers instead. It's interesting to read that the passive suspension is set between Sport and Sport+ in terms of stiffness. This is the point I would like to be able to set the active to. Sport+ is too stiff for a bumpy road and Sport lacks good rebound control. I find the Active very frustrating as there is a constant temptation to mess with the settings rather than just enjoy the drive. Sport + feels good for a few corners but then chatters and loses grip over the bumps and I drop it back to sport.

I've test driven the M2 and that suspension feels like it is set between sport and sport+ and it drives very well.

I would try to test drive both passive and active and make a decision before you buy the car. I find the Adaptive is nice to put in comfort to cruise in traffic but it feels like a compromise as soon as you start driving hard.
