I am still not sure this is really the case - has anybody found any facts to support that EDC-C (sometimes referred to as EDC-III+) works this way? And furthermore, BMW has never said that the E92 M3's EDC IS EDC-C - it may actually be a generation newer than what has shown up on newer BMWs, or a specifically tuned version of EDC-C just for the E92 M3.
And why would standard shocks/dampers feel better than EDC anyway? If I'm not mistaken F1 used active shocks for years, and they only had one type of "road" to deal with. Call the setting "active stiff". Correct me if I'm wrong but active shocks/dampers/suspension were used until catastrophic failures killed Aryton Senna (and others I don't recall - not a huge fan). Surely they saw an advantage?
