Not sure who the EDC supplier is, would like to know. This document seems to imply BMW makes their own system with vendor supplied valves. This seems unlikely though, seems like a part BMW would buy from a supplier.

However, in any case the system works by a valve controlling the oil flow, either a coil or direct electrical type of valve. It is not a magneto-rheological fluid system nor does it contain permanent magnets.
