Default Lift Mode Turned off after 50MPH like clockwork

This morning sitting as a passenger, playing with the CAR suspension mode and noticed the LIFT mode was GRAYED out whenever the speed got above 50MPH and came back when it's under. My suspension must be bad then.
Grayed out above 50MPH
Back when under 50MPH
Cheers,
Louis

No it is not bad.
It should be greyed out over 50-60 as it automatically stops you putting it into lift and I do believe it automatically lowers the car to dynamic height although maybe not dynamic mode. I can't remember I'll have to check but for me greying out is normal at higher speeds.
I'm not sure what should happen if you already have it in lift mode and then go at high speed though?

+1, that’s normal behavior. Lift mode selection is disabled above 50mph. Automatic lowering to 5mm below dynamic ride height occurs after more than 2 mins above 75mph (on US spec, 120kmh Euro)

The behavior is all detailed in the SSP.

+2 I think you are all normal. Just as mentioned when in comfort it lowers a bit upon sustain speed. Also, does the same transition from Lift to Comfort after sustained speed of about 50; but it too has to be sustained not just as you hit ~50mph as pointed out in your videos above.
