[QUOTE="cafee, post: 728136, member: 14984"] I am going to share my experience.. not sure which suspension setup you have. On the F10, we have electronic damper controls for the shocks. Experience - how the system screws up 1) Once plugged into 3rd party diagnostics/reset/test systems (outside workshops) 2) Once in a while, when you start the car, and the system detects fault or error in one of the many sensors related to driving dynamics (No error message but internal faults are stored) The suspension will be very hard, almost as if, you are driving on rails. Every small bump can be felt. As if there is no shocks at all. (This is not a fail safe mode(no error displayed)) System does not correct it self - send it back to factory for a reset -hopefully they acknowledge and resolve it for you (Quill failed to rectify for me despite many trips back) Solution : Get a ENET cable, install INPA on your Notebook 1) Connect to car 2) Start the car (*Important - not just ignition) 3) Select Chassis Type - F10 , or F30 etc 4) Clear all error messages (both hard/soft fault) 5) Reset Dynamic Vertical Management ECU 6) Go to EDC (Electronic Damper Controls), you'll see "Satellite Dampers" (there will be 4 - Front Right, Left, Rear Right Left) 7) Select to "Release Damper Values", for each of the "Up - Hard, Up- Soft" - then click "Save All Values" 8) Select to "Release Damper Values", for each of the " Down - Hard, Down - Soft" - then click " Save All Values" 9) Do a Reset All on the EDC- Satelite 10) Off the car completely (remove keys) You will find your suspension smooth and supple like the first day you got the car. (FYI - takes getting used to as INPA is all in German) Unfortunately, the above cannot be done using ISTA/D This is my personal experience and I have spent a lot of time researching the above. I cannot be sure if it will work for F30 - you do the above at your own risk. OK? I do appreciate feedback. Thanks [/QUOTE]
