Hi there. I just sold my 2014 228i with the 704 M Sport suspension (which i understand to the first step up from stock, 10mm ride ht drop, firmer ride). I bought a 2016 228i with the base suspension. The 704 M Sport is a good upgrade from base if you are looking for a very livable upgrade. That said, I have ordered the M Performance suspension for this new to me car. All of these options are the traditional non-electronically adjustable suspensions. Two weeks ago I rented a 2017 Porsche 911 with the electronic dampers. Really nice to have the adjustability but at the end of the day, they are expensive options, and the long term durability is debatable, and replacing these components over time will certainly cost more. YMMV.
