I drove S3 during autoX, and played with the adjustable settings a bit. There was a significant difference between settings, with S3's "comfort" setup feeling floaty and unpredictable.

BMW's adjustable suspension is different, much tighter. BMW's "comfort" is way stiffer than S3's, and the same goes for the stiffer settings. I definitely would not want to stay in "Sport+" all the time on the street, but it will likely yield the fastest times on track/autoX.
