Wait until users try and lower their cars, without changing dampers. Then there will be some serious discussion.

The concept is not new, but the way BMW implement it is tuned in a way that ride height is a critical part of the resulting damping curve characteristic, front and rear.

Will be very strange if a car is lowered and rear compression damping is now running harder and front rebound is softer due to the OE design parameters!

I read that the ride is not perfect on small imperfections. I'm guessing the higher spring rate isn't helping, even if handling is sharpened.
