EDC Malfunction - Eibach Pro Kit on e90 M3

Well I got the dreaded EDC Malfunction this morning. I disconnected the negative battery terminal; then cleaned, inspected and verified all the EDC connections on the front dampers. Then I reconnected the negative battery terminal and the malfunction persisted. I even repeated all the steps just to be sure. I then called Eibach to see if they had any additional troubleshooting steps. Unfortunately they did not, nor had they heard of any EDC problems with their M3 Pro Kit. I also called my local performance shop, Soulspeed, that did my alignment. (I did the spring install myself on Aug 9th.) Soulspeed agreed that I had followed the correct steps and I should contact the dealer.

Now I'm left with calling the dealer and I'm a little concerned that if a damper failed they will point the finger at Eibach and that will not go too well. I'm hoping it is just a sensor failure.

I have seen a lot of EDC Malfunction posts but none that are too specific on the resolution from BMW. So if anyone has any insight it would appreciated it.

Worst case, I will have to tell the wife a new set of Motons are the only cure.
