suspension question, VIN decode

[MattD1]

hi all
I'm looking to buy a 2nd hand BMW, and checking the VIN I can't see anything about the suspension.
It should have M sport passive or adaptive suspension but there's nothing on the VIN decoding.

S216 Hydro Steering-Servotronic
S230 Extra Package, EU-Speciifc
S248 Steering Wheel Heater
S258 Tyres With Runflat Properties
S2NH M Sport Brake
S2PA Locking Wheel Bolt
S2TB Sport Automatic Gearbox
S2V5 BMW LA Wheel, M Double Spoke 598
S2VB Tyre Pressure Display

but the suspension isn't mentioned, I think I'm looking for SA2VF

any advice is appreciated, thanks

Was it Mdecoder you used?

It's not always correct; some parts can be missed...

Which car also?

I've looked on a few and also the BMW AIR system via a friend's friend who works in the industry.

It's a F34 335D drive M sport
The drive shows this which indicates that might have it but some still don't

My F31 shows that but I've just got standard M Sport suspension

My car has 'comfort+' setting on the drive modes, i understand that only vehicles with VDC adaptive shocks have this? My car does physically have the adaptive suspension BTW and shows the option on the build specs (223).

Edited to add I cant tell any discernible difference between any of the suspension settings!

Do you have a link to the ad?

I didn't think UK market 335Ds ever had the M Sport option?
