I have a ‘22. Adaptive was better than non. It’s still a bit stiff regardless but adaptive helps (doesn’t bother me, just notice it vs other vehicles). The mild hybrid I believe helps slightly with torque, but I know for a fact the auto start stop works the best of many cars I’ve driven, likely because of it.
A few other comments. I’d get one with Harmon Kardon. Parking assist package is awesome (for the 3D camera and the automated blackout), but probably a nice to have. Keep in mind with Parking Assist you can get Drive Recorder with is basically a built in dashcam. Don’t have to futz around with aftermarket, and the looks stays clean. Driving assist is nice to have but I’d put it below parking. Mine is basically fully optioned except for the Tire and Cooling package (I’ll likely never track it). Also be mindful that depending on factory built tire, your top speed is limited to 130 or 155. Mine has all seasons, so I’m 130 (I believe you can change this list with a tune/bimmercode, but mine would have to go to Sweden or wherever. Doubt I ever go that fast anyway, and I’ve got no time for swapping tires/wheels twice a year (or storage for that matter).
If I have passengers I drive in comfort. If I don’t, I do sport individual and keep dampers in comfort mode, all else in regular sport. On the highway I’m always comfort unless rush hour. Car gets amazing MPG on highway in comfort. If I’m feeling crazy I do Sport+. I have Xdrive and it’s SUPER easy to throw out the backend with traction in reduced mode. I like xdrive because I don’t trust myself with RWD, and yes it’s faster.
This is coming from someone past their wild younger years, so you may be more aggressive on driving styles. Haven’t had any issues, granted I’m probably lower on the mileage spectrum than some others.
