If you are right, this is a major change for 2014. At least until now, the G3 dynamic damper control (DDC) did not come with M Sport alone. It was only available with the addition of the Dynamic...

I'm signed up for a "Drive for Team USA" event next Thursday in NJ. Some dealers in NJ have even later dates, but I think it's finished in most states. I wasn't able to find a slot in NY.

I think GertieDog is correct. In the pictorial summary below, the middle panel is from p.257 of the 2013 X3 owner's manual, and the right panel is from p.100.
