Some people have PM'd me asking for more info about installing the M3's EDC shocks into a 1M. A German friend of mine has done it. It was not easy, but he did it.
I really can not say how he did it. But I did want to share this pic with you guys.
Basically when you install the M3 EDC shocks when you give the shocks power... they go full soft. And when they don't have any power... they are fully hard(track mode). But getting that in between mode proved to be hard. Darn hard to figure out.
One thing I will say is IF you have access to a M3, you could measure the PWM (pulse width modulation) in order to figure out what voltage.
My friend did tell me he had to use a steering com box from a X5M in order to get the proper signal for the 1M steering system. Because the 1M uses a simular system that the X5M uses. (electronic wise)
Here is a crappy pic confirming the EDC install in a 1M....
