Yes because BMW has a history of designing M3 lemons I mean what were they thinking when they built the award winning e9x engine/chassis M3 (Strange to me that the e9x engine & dct is considered somewhat fragile as there was a board member here that back in 08 did the stroker motor AND supercharged the stroker engine in his 08 dct M3!) or the award winning e46 engine/chassis M3 (The e46 bullet proof engine is STILL amazing to me i mean what HPF does with thoes engines is mind-boggling) or the timeless e36 M3? With that track record I think I'd be ok being the "test subject" for the f-body M3, assuming i can hold out! Ben sorry to hear about your car and hope you find one you like soon man! Cheers -

For me it is more about the styling. I am seeing these new spy shots of the new coupe (4 series I guess) and it resembles the body shape of the mustang.
I don't question the reliability. |

I don't have issue with the style or the reliability. I have issue with the fact that its two years out, and that I need a car!

Ben, what kind of loaner did your insurance get you? Some kind of Ford or Chevy sedan? Must be miserable. Shoot, I'm pretty miserable when I even get a 328i as a loaner vehicle lol!

What am I really missing out on if I don't get EDC?

Since I have after-market springs (which are stiffer than stock), I don't even use EDC anymore. I set EDC to Comfort at all times. Setting EDC to anything stiffer (Sport, Sport Plus) if running after-market springs, makes the ride way too harsh and unpleasantly bouncy on Houston streets.
But if you don't have after-market springs, you may see some benefit to having EDC. Set it to Sport or Sport Plus on smooth roads in the hill country. Set it to Comfort for the bumpy roads of Houston streets. |

The ability to change the ride comfort is nice....if you didn't have it you won't miss it. I keep mine in normal unless I hit the M button and then it's set to sport. One good thing I have found is......when tires are going bald and the ride is rough, comfort is great.....in fact I had to use comfort today.......the beltway seemed rougher than normal....or is it time for tires ................Phil

Correct. My car had EDC but the consensus seems to be that the ride in non-EDC cars is closest to the normal (middle) setting on EDC cars.

That was going to be my next question... I'm annoyed by the big gap between the Power and DSC buttons though! haha
