Dan Parker · 09-26-2012, 08:49 PM

As long as I can share my settings on Facebook and Twitter...

awesome! Too bad they don't have it for the E89 yet

Very nice!

J1n · 09-27-2012, 07:52 AM

Really ??? Mobile control.. DAMMMM!

If I only had the spare $4,000+ lying around.

I've heard about this in one of the m3s that Matt Farrah drove on Tuned recently. Seems pretty cool!

i emailed KW last week and they said they will only make DDC KW coils for cars with EDC settings already in the car........ but clearly in the articles here they are making it for the E90s ....... you think eventually they will bring it to older gen cars without EDC?

ABS was an option once for high-end luxery cars...

True that !

Tein had electronic dampening and ride height control for years, but to do it via iphone app is pretty darn cool.

Titanium Silver · 09-27-2012, 01:27 PM

Damn! That is so tight!

JavaG80 · 09-27-2012, 02:04 PM

Pretty sweet! Just wish the app was made for a useful phone...

Don't sound right when my 1M is running the DDC coilovers and it only comes equipped with a passive damper set up from the factory.....No EDC option here!

They needed a save and reliable platform for the app...

I assume it will arrive on android and win7 aswell...

Sorry to be a n00b but would I able to adjust ride height with this, or is it just stiffness settings?

Via the app/wifi and dash button is combined bump/rebound settings only, height adjustment is via the spindle tool supplied only, KW also do the HLS kit that can be used in conjunction with DDC

Unfortunately this will not fit in the small gap available between the front wheel and strut on the 1M.......

I was checking these out earlier. The iPhone thing was inevitable, but it's still pretty nifty. It certainly has sex appeal from a marketing standpoint.

I always thought the Tanabe TEAS was a pretty interesting take on the Tein EDFC. The Tanabe adjusts damper settings based on vehicle speed.

No non-m E9x application?

This c/o looks awesome; wonder if the springs are progressive or linear rate.
