[QUOTE="gendong, post: 755087, member: 22402"] Welcome back bro! ahhh...... yes, most of these UK spec car are the SE variant. And very true that upon arriving our shores, the car importer/dealer wld quickly change to Msport kits, most of the time leaving the interior as is. sighhh...... one in a while a genuine unit wld pop up. Yes u are correct. its on standard BMW sussy. basic. Well in the UK/Europe/US, the buyer can spec out the car to their fancy. means, each tick of the box wld add to the total price of the car. they can choose any option they want or not, including having EDC or basic sussy. Not like here, where we are at the mercy of BMW Malaysia, having chosen every spec for the Malaysian market. having EDC means more electronic components, i.e. more part, i.e. more additional cost to maintain (if shit happens). Some like it mechanical, but there are those who loves driving technologies. some even rely on it. its a matter of preference. I do love the EDC, but with a bit of tweak.... hehehe Retrofitting EDC? i dont think u would want to go down that route, as its a very messy conversion as it involves wiring, control modules, coding, and not to forget the suspensions itself (last checked all 4 adaptive sussy is approx RM10k-12k total, excluding labor n other cost). Strongly suggest u find a unit that already has it installed. So far, ur the only guy i know who wants to go to EDC, whereas most of the guys i know are reverting to aftermarket in place of their EDC. Aftermarket? yup, some on Bilstein B12, Titan, KW v3 etc.....
