the drop on the 1M DDC kit is - front 10-35mm, rear 5-25mm

myself I am looking ar either a f 15mm & r 10, or f 10mm & 5mm rear....my garage entrance is my challenge but have found the least angled entry point that gains me approx 2inch of clearance on stock ride height.

Hi ! All the best for the install. I got the same garage entrance problem as you, so will stick with a 10mm drop front & rear. My kit is due in a few days, install on the 22nd...

Yes, there is a version of the DDC for every version of the 1 Series, 135i included. And a detail, the ECU does not require an I-phone or I-pad to control it, a 'simple' I-pod Touch has wifi and can do the job ...

found it in older thread, that also has the stock suspension curves in it for comparison

A well-known suspension tuner who tested the stock springs told me that the fronts are in the 220-240 range and the rears 540-550.

Nice, so good to see this has happened.

To much teasing around the 1M, don't leave us hanging ........... .

All the wiring is being sorted now which is the time consuming part, and yep have the DDC app uploaded to the ipod touch already, but have been having issues with the bloody ipod going into recovery mode since updating to the latest apple ios software, bloody thing.

Performance BMW mag was over at KW today test driving the 1M prior and will be back on Fri to try out the new setup and do a feature on the new suspension tech, also Auto Express and Evo are due later this week to test it all out (incl KW UK's 911 turbo and evoque both being fitted with DDC w/ wifi this week) so I will probably have my first chance for a play next week.

you fox, good on you.

Hope you get the iToy fixed by then, if not there's always the 3 settings to switch from the dash.

balls turning blue ... (no smiley for that)

Booked in with Apple on Fri so fingers crossed, but as you say, still have use in the 3 way switch but I am wanting to use the wifi toy

Technology hey, I am still use to jacking up my opc to adjust the clubsports, now it can be done all with a iphone/ipad/ipod

I went with v3+, although considered DDC, because of the possibility to get my hands a bit dirty, and because bump & rebound are adjusted seperatly.

If I was tracking my 1M I would have gone with the Clubsport 3 ways and set up accordingly as I do with my opc running clubsports but as my 1M is for fast road and touring, the DDC and wifi will suit my needs spot on without having to get my hands dirty and at the touch of a button or a slide across the ipod screen

Hi ! Thanks for the news. Can't wait to read your 1st drive report ...

[Aussie_in_London]

Will update you with my thoughts when I get my hands on the car........

[eeghie]

very clean indeed.

Notice:
- how all the equipment is centrally mounted on ... the former barnyard pole?
- this Dukes of Hazards pose suites the 1M very well (even better in VO i'd guess)

Fair enough, as I don`t have a dedicated track car, you can see my point aswell

All fitted and set up, pick the 1M up early next week, Evo was out yesterday giving it a run so keep an eye out for a small DDC feature, ipod went into Apple yesterday and it's all no good, corrupted hardware, so an exchange and a few quid later and the new ipod is uploaded with the DDC app ready to go for pick up.

Nice fitting ! Did they put the button instead of the cigarette lighter ? For me, I got myself an I-phone yesterday, so I ordered the ECU/LAN module as well. I'll come back to this thread every day to check on your I-Baby... ;-)

[Aussie_in_London]

Yep the button is fitted under the tray cover in the location of the lighter, so with the cover closed it is out of sight but easy to access.

Good move re the iphone as the additional adjustments via wifi is what this kit is all about.

Looking forward to giving it a good run.

Excellent choice for the button, especially with the additional WiFi switching. Might borrow that one from you, but I'll await your review to see if your not switching to an even more accessible location.
