Despite what people say on the forums, you have to remember that everyone is biased. It's a $2500? option and those that go for it, subconsciously, feel the need to justify the expense. Those that forego the upgrade are, in my opinion, more likely to try and justify skipping an arguably cool feature of being able to raise and lower the car.
Try to filter out biased opinions and look at what TM and experts are saying:
1) TM only uses the steep driveway as a sample use for the SAS. I don't see them using any other examples such as increased efficiency or anything else for that matter. I may be wrong. Same goes for TM advisors. All of the ones I spoke with said that unless I have a steep driveway, it's not necessary.
2) Everyone seems to be in agreement in that the coils offer a more connected to the road feeling while SAS is the opposite. Whether you want to feel connected to the road on your sports sedan is a matter of personal preference. Coming from years of driving BMWs I can't imagine having it any other way. I will also be making the steering wheel as stiff as possible on my MS
. Cannot stand the overly assisted steering some cars have. That being said, to each his own.
3) I would say that the SAS would be the obvious choice if it offers the options some dynamic air suspensions offer. According to the experts it does not. It just allows you to lower and raise the car not adjust the stiffness of the ride. Now that would be a killer feature on a fast car like the MS.
Looking at my post I realize that I included a lot of arguments that are based on my personal feelings rather than expert opinions so take it all with a grain of salt
. I hope I have not made your decision harder.
