No worries, discussion like these are what makes Bimmerpost forums an enthusiast's forum and informative. Wish we had more discussions like these and I'm always available to answer any suspension and drivetrain questions.

As I mentioned previously, you can still have an electronic (dynamic) damper controlled suspension without the DDC ADAPTIVE driving mode.
Without ADAPTIVE driving mode, you don't get the benefits of active navigation route where the system can predictively prep the suspension for upcoming road sections. Doubt that the majority of X5 consumer owners ever drive in any other DDC modes beyond COMFORT, ECO, or SPORT. Unfortunately for Bimmer and forum enthusiasts, it's a drive mode that will be missed. I would be more concerned and table flipping if BMW deleted 2VF Adaptive M suspension.

Adaptive button for the MY22 G05 sDrive40i. Note that both of these are sDrive40i models and not xDrive40i so perhaps the change is only on the xDrive?

There's no controls for DHP, it's always active above 5mph. Only way you can tell is look under the vehicle. Here's what a X5 M50i with DHP looks like from underneath the back - note the rear ARS - active roll stabilization unit - highlighted in green.

Whether or not it has DHP would not effect them putting the Adaptive mode button on there. It is gone from all M50is as far as I know.

Interesting, there may be another determiner to whether the MY22 40is have the button. Hopefully others with air suspension will chime in.

I cannot understand why they dropped this driving mode. If it worked as advertised that is. I have a 21 M50 and use it all the time. Would be cool if I could look at the cluster and see what its doing. In other words, when driving in adaptive, am I in comfort mode or sport at a certain point in time. I know for most people that is probably useless information, but as a control freak I always like to know what is going on...

Lol I'm trying to follow what's going on just purely out of curiosity, but damn it's confusing. Can't imagine how frustrating it must be for those who are car shopping right now.

"I asked BMWGenius to explain Adaptive Driving Mode in more detail, including whether or not it switches between comfort and sport depending on the situation. Here's what they said. The Adaptive Driving Mode is a unique driving mode, separate from COMFORT, ECO PRO, and SPORT. While driving in Adaptive Driving Mode, the vehicle does not switch to COMFORT or SPORT mode automatically. However, characters of COMFORT or SPORT will be implemented, depending on the situation. The vehicle is considering many factor to determine the optimal drive feel. Along with acceleration, steering, and speed, the vehicle is also factoring in driving conditions, braking, cornering speed, input from the xDrive system and Navigation data. When the Navigation system has an active guidance, the Navigation data is used to anticipate curves, crossroads and type of street or road that you are driving on. For example, it can select the optimum transmission gear in advance, potentially enhancing efficiency. I responded with this: One more question: Some have suggested that Adaptive Driving Mode learns how you drive over time and adjusts itself based on that history. Is that true? Or does it just adapt based on the current situation without regard to history? Here is what they (a different person) said: In Adaptive mode, the following influences on the driving style are taken into account, among others: • Longitudinal dynamics • Current speed • Pedal sensor position • Cruise control (sensor data from ACC radar sensor) *If equipped • Sport shift gate for automatic transmission • Turn indicator • Steering wheel movements • Navigation data "ADAPTIVE" reacts to the current driving style. The affected control units can change their parameters on the basis of the detected driving style. This system will not use previous driving tendencies to change settings for the current trip.""

Just picked up my '22 M50i with DHP via PDC in Greenville on Thursday, can confirm no Adaptive drive mode on it. I went to press it on my drive home, and was confused when I couldn't find it!

To further muddy the waters on whether M50i may have Adaptive mode: If you add DHP in the online builder, an Adaptive mode button is added to the interior preview. If you have no DHP, it's just blank.
