Sam, did you order any of the KW V3 coilover for non EDC cars (not club sport)? The USA website still does not have the E92 m3 as a option.

I have a hunch that the V3 club sport w/EDC version for the m3 is just an error fault plug for EDC not integrated to work with it (ala M5).

BETTER NOT BE! I sent them an email to hopefully get an official answer. I will post the response when it comes in...

swamp may have been right all along, perhaps I'll be the one who gets "served" after this is over...

The Variant 3 setup comes with isolator units that plug in, in place of the factory EDC so that no EDC malfunction faults come through the ECU/Dashboard. Basically, if you install Variant 3 you are getting rid of EDC. Springs are for me all the way when my car arrives that way I get the best of both worlds, lowered/more aggressive stance and EDC. Hope this answers your question....OC Kid....

Currently only EDC cars as we have not had inquiries for non-EDC.

We have the application on the dealer price list.

Yes, KW for EDC eliminates the EDC function but there is no fault code.

swamp was right!

I stand corrected. All of the information I have gleaned confirms what swamp had mentioned earlier. I was wrong to jump to a conclusion about the KW's and their adaptability to the OEM EDC. I hereby offer my humble apologies to swamp for calling him out on this.

So, from the looks of it, I'm the one who got served.

Now the question is: should I even be holding on to any hope that "BMW Performance" will come out with a solution?
