Boom! I'm ordering today...

Nice. Is this worth getting if one doesn't have Dinan's springs installed? I get that ideally one would have both.

Jbrock22 · 05-07-2014, 01:53 PM

interesting. I need to read a review before buying.

Yeah....because you don't want to pay $400 if it is just a "Hello World" software enhancement.

Jbrock22 · 05-07-2014, 02:27 PM

Its for the 335I, I have a 328i. I just wrote Dinan asked them if its compatible.

Best to do both together; the OEM springs are pretty soft, so firmer dampers will probably overwhelm them.

Will you be bringing it to RS Worx again for the install? This new announcement has got me thinking on which spring setup to go with now haha. Can't wait on your review for the shockware paired up with their springs.

Cool, thanks. Can't wait for your review. Next question is how much do the Dinan springs affect right quality (obviously they improve handling but I like soft in comfort mode)? I love the drop but the wife and small kids probably wouldn't love a bumpy ride.

I wrote a review on the springs alone in this thread...

I'm not familiar with how the upgrade works... Can I revert back to OEM programming at will?

I wish I could bring it to them again, but software needs to be done by a Dinan authorized dealer...

Do only DHP cars have EDC? or all sport and m-sport cars?

I have to wait until tomorrow morning. My shop got busier than expected my car and sales mgr's pushed until tomorrow morning. Have you driven much on it yet?

FeckinSpaceman · 05-08-2014, 03:56 PM

Got my appointment for tomorrow morning with my dealer!

FeckinSpaceman · 05-09-2014, 06:32 AM

Anybody have any comments yet? ?? Want to make sure that it's worth the money

Overall the changes remind me of my Ohlins Road & Track setup I had in my E90 335, which was by far the best suspension setup I've owned over 20 plus cars. I rated the Ohlins better than a previous KW V3 setup on the same car.

Very compliant but fully track-able with amazing mechanical grip.

Comfort Mode
Increased compression dampening (25%?) with a slight marginal increase in rebound dampening.
I wouldn't say the new comfort setting takes on the old sport setting but it's somewhere in between.

Sport /Sport + Mode
Id say the increase in performance is exponential compared to the changes reflective in comfort mode.

Increased compression dampening (35-50%?) with a significant increase in rebound dampening.

I'd like to get out on the track soon, that's clearly were the changes will have a profound impact.

The cars perfect- Couldn't be happier.

I'm anxious to hear DVC's review/comments.
