Zero leaks, had a few different mechanics inspect them, only thing was my rear dinan spring cracked in half when they dropped the control arm to change a bushing which was weird. Had about 130k miles or so on those springs.

I got the shockware installed on my 2017 340i. Question is, can I replace my shocks with the Bilstein EDC replacement and still keep shockware? Has anyone done this?

I understand shockware can be installed with any shock that uses the electronic shock control system. I have not installed it however. (Dinan product not available for my ECU on my 2014 335Xi, sadly.)

New to the forum, but a vereran BMW owner. I own a 2018, 340i xDrive, 6MT with the adaptive M suspension, and have been considering a Shockware update. I have read what is available on the forum and find Dinan’s responses extremely helpful and technically precise. I still have questions. There are four settings in my car. Eco pro, comfort, sport, sport+. My question has to do with the relationship of throttle response to damper settings. Currently, there are three throttle response settings in my car and sport and sport+ share the same throttle response (this is my assessment from driving the car and I do not have technical information on this.) I prefer the throttle response on the sport setting. Will Shockware keep the throttle response in the original position? Meaning, in order for me to get the sport throttle response, after Shockware installation, I will always need to be in the Dinan upgraded sport damper setting (15% stiffer than sport?) Also, is anyone aware of any upgrades that Dinan may have completed to Shockware so that it instals properly on late model, AWD 6MT cars? MANY THANKS

"The suspension mode control switch is fully functional with the setting upgraded for each mode. Every setting has become more performance-based in how it reacts to changing road and driving conditions. The "Comfort" setting is now tuned to be the "Normal" setting, while the "Normal" setting is now tuned to be the "Sport" setting. The big change is when the BMW is set to "Sport" as that is the new Dinan high-performance programing." So ECO PRO and Comfort have the exact same setting (which would be OEM sport) and Sport and Sport+ is Dinan's own programming.

Thanks, I agree with your assessment. This is also how I read Dinan’s explanation. What this suggests is that in order to have the sport throttle response one would always have to be in the Dinan sport setting, which I find unfortunate. I wanted to see if Dinan will confirm this assessment. It would have been good to maintain the sport throttle response with the OEM sport damping, as well as pairing it with the Dinan sport damping.

I’ve been looking high and low and can’t find an answer on this. Can I install Shockware at home? If so, how is it installed? I can’t find any install instructions, an app listed on the Play Store, or any references to software. I don’t want to have to go back to a shop if my software gets updated or anything, so I’d much rather do it myself and I’m very comfortable with coding, programming, etc.
