You hit the nail on the head. I've been going back and forth on this and also created the following link http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=555136 with regard to the same.

Conclusion is that in the long term-especially if you decide to track or go to more aggressive setup-the EDC will be a pain to deal with.
In the event that your shocks with EDC go bust-the shocks are way more expensive to replace and and removing the EDC stuts/shocks will require coding for EDC Delete which adds more to the already high cost of the parts itself.


M3 with no EDC comes standard with the normal setting-which by the way is the best setting for getting the best lap times as it allows for more spring travel and is the optimum balance of sport/comfort.

I saved $1k considering my long term approach.
