Ride not too comfortable- EDC settings
I have a 2010 E92 and I have been driving it for about 6 months now. I have noticed that the ride is not particuarly comfortable especially on not so smooth roads. I realize that this is a sports car and has a sport suspension but I feel like like it could be better. I have tried changing the EDC settings numerous times but I cannot feel a difference at all. I leave it in comfort mode( no lights on button). I also have the 19 inch stock wheels, I wonder if the ride would be comparably better with 18 inch wheels. Please advise if there is anything I can do to obtain a smoother ride. Thanks

You should notice a difference between each EDC setting. The rebound rates are very different and sport is much more firm than comfort. I'm not sure why you dont appreciate a difference. As suggested check your tire pressure and changing to 18s would give slight improvement. What tires do you have?

When you're on 18" it's hard to believe the car is an ///3. The different tire sizes make a huge difference and so is the comfort and normal setting. Sports is totally different and best left alone for track use. With the 19s I use comfort for city/daily driving, and when on 18s its normal setting.

MY car only has 12,000 miles so I highly doubt the EDC is worn out. I guess what I was saying is that I can tell a difference in the settings in that the sport is stiffer but none of the settings have a comfortable ride, bumps feel similar in all settings. I realize that comfort will be the most comfortable. I will try to lower the air pressure in my 19s as I think it is higher like you mentioned. Also, with wheel diameter affecting ride quality so much, I would have to think very hard about upgrading to 20 inch wheels in the future like I had planned. Or is there a combination of high quality wheels and tires which would not suffer from reduced ride comfort?
