Most of the time I run around in comfort mode and the exhaust cut-outs open - I think this has a lot to do with running 800lb springs, motons, and virtually no exhaust on the E46 for a few years.
At the track I find that sport handles transitions better than "normal". This thing does need stiffer roll bars, though I am afraid to mess with the perfect lack of understeer compared to my E46. |

I now have 9000 miles and have 3 track days and 1 car control clinic and would have to agree that the differences in the settings are subtle. Certainly would not miss having this option, and if aftermarket suspension is even a possibility you are better off without it.

This is my feeling too and for the same reasons you've listed. Except I think it's there because BMW can sell it as an option. Options are where they make their money. In my opinion if BMW thought this car need EDC it should've been standard equipment and those who don't care for it can just leave it set to normal.

I agree, that if you plan to add coilovers, then EDC isn't needed.
EDC isn't just locking the stiffness at 3 different settings. In normal and comfort the system is continuously adaptive based on driving conditions. In sport the system is locked at (i think) 75% max stiffness. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me |
