I don't think that the investment of even trying to come up with other features (steering effort, throttle adjustments) while messing with the DSC level of intervention and testing all this will be something for a small tuner to handle.
I don't think MDM has anything to do with EDC. Adjusting suspension settings at unpredictable times would be a complete no-no. All it does is reduce the broader limits of instrusion. This however adjust itself accordingly. Hence "Dynamic".

It would be great if someone can confirm this. Though I'm 99.9% certain MDM has nothing to do with EDC. Many cars on the forum have gone with aftermarket coil systems such as Moton or KW, while retaining full use of MDM.

This is 100% an upsell gimmick on BMW's part.
