So for some reason my car didn't get 223. I also did not get 2vl (VSS) as that is part of the ZDH package. Dealer is refunding me the difference. It's sad but I guess I can live without 223. Until the next BMW!
Good luck guys with your car! SJ |

And btw, they submitted everything correctly. BMW just didn't build it right for unknown reasons.

Interesting on the VSS thing too...I'd like to know more about it's inclusion b/c stuff I read says its on the SAP too... maybe what's included on the SAP is just power steering assist (meaning it gets tighter) but the actual VSS is only DHP..maybe that's it? Seriously though man...lob a complaint directly over to BMWNA and raise some hell. I'll ask the woman I know for some advice for you |

You're taking it much better than I would. My response would simply have been "I'm sorry, but this is not my car. Please call me when mine arrives."

Sounds like you need to escalate this above your sales manager head. You ordered the car a specific way and it was not delivered that way. I would INSIST on a new order and have them put you into a loaner while it is being built. Post this on the BMWUSA FB board too. It draws attention to the problem and they will have a BMW USA customer rep contact you.

I'm an engineer but not an automotive designer. Aside from wheels / tires and ratio of sprung to unsprung weight, the primary parameters in a suspension that I know of are geometry, spring rates, and damping. Haven't heard any mention of adjustable spring rates / air suspension, and I doubt they have changeable geometry. Would be fascinating to discover they're able to make chassis changes on the fly. Thanks Bruce |

Based on the BMW UK site, it's clear that M Sport includes variable sport steering (2VL). I know it's not listed in the U.S. spec, but this makes most sense for current M Sport owners to feel a difference in vehicle response. So what you see on the iDrive screen may indeed be controlling the steering response, however that's not controlling the shocks. EDC: "Electronic Damper Control (EDC) reduces variations in wheel load, ensures tyres have excellent traction and counteracts bodyshell movement regardless of the weight your automobile may be carrying - and regardless of the state of the road's surface. EDC can even help shorten braking distances, meaning you enjoy outstanding comfort along with the best in BMW on-road safety. Sensitive sensors constantly monitor all factors influencing the vehicle's behaviour and occupants’ comfort, including road conditions, load changes and vehicle speed. In a fraction of a second, the signals are analysed by the EDC microprocessor and orders are sent to the actuators on the shock absorbers, which, with the help of magnetic valves, are variably adjusted to provide optimal suspension. Thanks to Electronic Damper Control, the tendency for the nose to dip when braking is practically eliminated. The influence of potholes and unevenness on the road surface is reduced to minimum. Whether you're behind the wheel or relaxing in the rear of the cabin, EDC delivers a remarkably smooth and comfortable ride." By the way, I am a perspective buyer. I went to the BMW performance event and enjoyed the test drive with the fully optioned X3.
