Poor road package

Just bought an 12 40d.
The miles are a little higher than I'd like (85k) but it's a AUC so 2 years unlimited mileage warranty.. spec is different to my outgoing car (lose the sunroof and homelink but gain prof media and heated seats)
Question is though it has S815A Poor road package as one of the fitted options.
I can't find any reliable info on what it is - I've seen references to suspension changes and to stone guard stickers.
Anyone idea what it is ?

M sport drops it and then you put a pack on to raise it back up again..
How typical BMW
But it does explain why it was less jarring than my SE with dynamic pack on the same size wheels

May be worth getting the tape measure out and comparing to the standard SE/ Msport.

I totally agree, there's too many cars built for the Nurburgring these days, when all we want is a decent day to day quality ride quality.

It's standard here in Ireland....
I know the dealer principal well so he knows not to sell me a pup...

It costs the dealer about £600 or something like that. They left the internal paperwork in mine when I bought it a year ago. They were happy to throw it in when I bought mine.
