The non-ZCP EDC does not interact directly with DSC that by itself is a difference.
Still i am not saying it explains the rough noises. I tend to agree with New2Roundel each car is different when it comes to fit/finish. At times i have been disconcerted by reading other people saying it is a "refined" drive, not by any stretch in my experience. Interesting comment from Beemdog about the auxiliary air pump. Thinking more on how to describe what i hear from the cabin i would compare it at times to a food blender/mixer, like those cheap kitchen appliances except more industrial sounding with tougher metal grind sound and on top of that once in while that perceptible tug boat or helicopter pulsating sound. I am not complaining so much about the ride/EDC but more the engine noises from inside the cabin. Sometimes it's almost physically hurting the ears when it gets really grindy, like a steam locomotive from the engine room. And my car came to me from the factory, still looks like a show room car and is still under warranty. I need to locate another ZCP and testdrive. Because it certainly is far from refined. |
Only sport mode, normal and comfort still do
