The sport+ doesn't change your suspension setup ;)

i need to check that out! If the suspension is not dynamic, then will go titan asap.

Sorry, this car is company car so i really have not even read or understand much bout it. I kept thinking that the sport n sport+ changes the suspension system too like the e38

For the standard suspension i think the spring might be alright. Even the compression of abs is not too bad. But definitely the rebounce is too light. Thats what makes the car bounce. Its not really the spring too soft. I keep having my abs stretched out after going over bumps. If the springs are too soft, that wont happen. Its actually out sprunged the abs. In another word the abs are not holding the rebounce sufficienly.

Many people do not understand the difference between hard suspension and hard spring. If a hard spring (or higher rated) spring is installed, it doesnt automatically give a hard ride. If a high compression abs is installed even on soft spring, it will give an immediate harsh ride.

I personally prefer standard or slight higher (1 kg/mm) maintain compression but increase 20% thereabout rebounce. Its enough for daily ride.

Confirm that the suspension in the F30 isn't dynamic for the models that they bring in to Malaysia. It is an optional extra in other countries.

I am looking for a solution to cure the bounciness of the F30 -> So what do we need ? I gather from your post M Performance Suspension will not suffice - make it worse. I am looking for non bouncy ride / less jarring over bad roads / when i use sports mode - stiffer ride?

So Adaptive damping / M Sport Suspension ?

Based on your requirement, it also depends on your budget. Both M Sport and Adaptive damping costs a bomb. Alternatively, like Alan, you can opt for locally made coilovers.
 
Marco.. try PM Maroonbug. If I'm not mistaken he knows how to source for the KW DDC.

Cheers.
