Passive Suspension stiffness?
Please pardon me if this has been addressed; I have not seen it. Does anyone know what the 'standard' setting will be if you don't get the M-Adaptive Suspension? I suppose there is some speculation involved, but what's your best guess??
We'll see when the car comes out. My guess is that it would have to be on the most stiff, or sport plus... ?? |

There is no setting of an active suspension that is equivalent to a passive suspension, strictly speaking (well, unless it were programmed to be non-active in some setting, which the non-ZCP E9x M3 admittedly was in the Sport Plus mode).
That said, for the E9x M3 the consensus was that without EDC, the car felt and handled roughly like a car with EDC set to the Sport setting. I think we can expect the same this time around. |

But that is the best part about having the options!! Having the optionality, regardless of how often it is/isn't exercised. Better to have than not have!

I think I played with EDC for about a week in my '08 M3. The two E9X M3's that followed got one fiddle session and I never touched it again. They were some really unhappy women..........you know....with no fiddling and stuff.

Not if you're going coilover later. But it is good for the city. Used to always change them around. Now with kw cs the edc connectors are sitting in a box in storage. And i just click the edc error message everytime i drive.

I would totally change it to "comfort" when I have passengers in the car, and set it back to the stiffest mode when I am driving alone. And then change it back to "comfort" when I have to go over speed bumps in parking garages.

I'm on the fence on this option. The benefit is that damping is adjustable on the fly. The drawback is that it's added complexity, electronics, weight, and cost.
I just want the suspension which allows maximum adjustability and alignment options, and minimum understeer. It's not clear to me whether Adaptive M Suspension fits that criteria. Do we know whether ride height is lowered with AMS? Is the description largely the same as that on the regular 4er? |
