I found the 330d to be stiffer for no appreciable gain, mainly in sharpness of rebound.

I had a F31 335d previously and know how crap they were as standard and I can assure you the new 330e is night and day better.
I have a new 330e M Sport with no adaptive. I recently read a report from someone saying how hard and disappointed they were with the firm ride. (It hurt his wife's back etc) With a week to go before delivery I became really concerned...but what a waste of time worrying. Its slightly firm but not in any way unpleasant and I now prefer it to my just departed F30 320i Luxury. The car is on 19" wheels too. I avoided having to buy the M Sport Plus pack which in turn meant I could avoid rear sun protection glass! So if you have a 330e on its way, you do not need M Sport Plus pack for the adjustable suspension. I couldn't be happier with the suspension set up.
