Dynamic Damping Control is only standard on German spec GCs (the brochure states all specs listed are to German spec). For HK spec DDC is $15,800+tax option.
Adaptive Drive is just DDC+ARS, same as F10.
So, in a nutshell, the choice is either DDC ($15,800+tax) or AD (which includes DDC, @ $48.1k+tax).
The BMWUK configurator lists DDC & AD as separate items, but u'll notice if u choose just DDC then AD won't be selected (u can select it manually, where the price will be adjusted accordingly). If u choose AD then DDC will automatically be selected.
BMW have since MY12 offered DDC as a standalone option on F-series cars, so u're no longer forced to get the whole AD package in order to get DDC for some models.
