[QUOTE="smugams, post: 755088, member: 3957"] Hi Bro Gen! Thanks for the feedback bro. After some brainstorming and browsing more online chats regarding the BMW sussy, I have take a decision to not overly rely on the EDC now. Like you said, car this age may cost me a lot more to maintain the EDC which could fail after 100k KM depending on how the car has been driven in the past. And to be honest after a couple of months of hunting, I simply cannot find any UK spec with EDC and it is hard to come by. Plus I am also thinking it is going to be mostly highway drive, the stiffness of the suspension can be tuned with an appropriate upgraded passive dampers and coil overs later on if I don't like the standard BMW sussy. I really don't know until I take this car for a spin. I know the bmw different driving mode without EDC still controls the steering feel, transmission shift rate and throttle/rev response. So that should be ok I think for now. I have decided now that EDC should not be the deal breaker here until I test drive the car. Thanks again bro for your advice! I am counting days now to test drive that car and hopefully can seal the deal. Wish me luck bro!! :):):) [/QUOTE]
