I did check with my buddy who retrofitted the EDC shocks on his 1M.


Here is what he told me when I said "man that must have been a lot of coding to get the EDC to work"!

"...Not only coding, there are 2 ecu's to install and 3 sensors. You have to build a wiring harness and to program the junction box with another software. Finally there is the coding"

He told me it was way more work that he thought it would be. Plus its not something that a lay mechanic could install. You really have to know the "ins and outs" of BMW ecu's hardware and software coding. And trust me, my friend is a specialist when it comes to bmw's.
junction schmunction (i'm guessing), coding schmoding (for sure). Having said that, your buddy must be very friendly with the BMW design community to pull all of this off in under a year . But now that we know its been done, you cannot OP this without some review. Is your buddy more the quiet type, or the for hire type? How to approach?
