Based on other threads and reviews, the stock non-adjustable M3 shocks' stiffness falls somewhere between Sport and Sport+ for those with adjustable suspension.

Even then, Comfort setting on an M3 will be significantly stiffer than anything available on 535 or 335 cars. As well as it should be!

I find the m4 passive suspension to be more than capable of absorbing the road imperfections while still giving the needed feedback to make driving the car enjoyable for a daily driver. Hope this helps.

As has been discussed at length in other threads, the adaptive suspension is much more than the 3 user selectable settings. The adaptive suspension is constantly adapting (changing the damping) to the driving conditions in real time.
