Anyone who has driven with EDC on Autobahn.......
Hi,
For those of you who have driven your EDC M3's on the Autobahn at high speed what setting did you find gives the most planted and stable feel? Thank you in advance! Steve

the system in comfort and normal is 100% adaptive, I've had mine over 130 in comfort mode with no issues of instability or lack of confidence with the vehicle. Furthermore, with the sport setting you may bounce around too much at high speed since the suspension is locked at 75% stiffness...let the computer do its thing

I also usually drive at normal when going high speeds (130+mph) on the Autobahn

normal setting at m school...
even the instructors at m school have you drive on normal setting because of its ability to adapt. I have heard that the new competition pack allows for adaptability in all settings....

You're just going fast on a smooth surface with no significant curves. It's not going to make any difference where it's set. The purpose of any damper is to control the movement of the spring and, under this scenario, they're just not doing much.

Any setting will do. I've always left it in Comfort, the only time it goes into Normal or Sport is at the track.

It seems to me the difference between comfort and normal is more apparent at lower speeds. At higher speeds the difference is less apparent, if noticeable at all.
