Great part.

Amazing value compared to a dealer part and half the cost of e remanufacturd part. Has ben been on my car for several months an no issues. Fortunately, the ride height matched the other shock so no reprogramming was required.

Perfect There was no problem with the installation and now my car no longer has a saggy butt. Took forever to find a replacement for the old ones. Did a lot of research and only a few companies had decent reviews... I usually go for OEM parts so this purchase was kinda like flipping a coin. Glad I made the choice.

So far so good

My dad's 10yr old bmw needed new air shocks. I wish I had bought both instead of one at a time. Word of advice always replace both! Anyways I've had them in for about 2-3 months and things have been looking good I haven't had any problems with them yet.
By reducing the nose's tendency to dip when braking and improving the tyre traction, EDC shortens the braking distance when braking heavily. The damper adjustment means that even when braking with ABS the vehicle chassis remains upright on the road and all four wheels have the largest possible contact to the surface.
Order a standard 4 Series and you get BMW's standard suspension. But if you order an M Sport-spec car, you get M Sport suspension, which includes firmer dampers, springs and anti-roll bars. Those equipped with BMW's adaptive dampers and M Sport alloys and suspension settings are at their most pleasing in Comfort mode.
M(e) mode is for you (stiffer suspensiion, sharpened throttle response, heavier steering, less traction control) when you have passengers (i.e wife, kids, bosses, etc.) you have to turn off M(e) mode and go to "others" mode which I like to call normal mode.
Adaptive (or active) suspension systems use sensors and microprocessors to monitor the road beneath its wheels in real time. A computer reads the data as it's sent over by the sensors and adjusts the shocks and springs to create a smooth driving experience.
"BMW Dynamic Performance Control (sometimes called Performance Control or DPC) is a torque vectoring system that can send engine power to individual rear wheels. When traveling around a corner the outside wheels need to travel a further distance than the inside wheels.
Electronic damper control. In an air suspension system, electronic damper control is the continuous, map-controlled adjustment of the damper settings. It provides extra ride comfort, driving pleasure and safety, plus improved handling when driving over loose surfaces or on off-road terrain.
BMW Adaptive Drive is BMW's chassis control system. It combines the Electronic Damper Control (EDC) and Dynamic Drive systems to increase both ride comfort and agility. If you aren't in a sporty mood, the system allows you to choose a comfort mode, where it works to improve ride comfort, particularly on uneven roads.
Continuous Damping Control (CDC) calculates and activates the required stiffness of the shock absorbers according to the load and weight-strain on the vehicle as well as the road surface conditions. During braking or acceleration, when cornering, or on hills, this suppresses pitching and rocking movements.
Press the menu button on iDrive controller and select 'Settings'. If your BMW is equipped with Adaptive M Suspension, 'Chassis' and 'Drivetrain & Chassis' will be displayed. If not, 'Drivetrain' is the only option. In this menu, you can change what the Sport option does to the vehicle.
BMW M. BMW M GmbH, formerly known as BMW Motorsport GmbH, is a high-performance division of BMW AG that manufactures high-performance cars. BMW M ("M" for "motorsport") was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program, which was very successful in the 1960s and 1970s.
Optional adaptive suspension is available to alleviate this, but is pricey. It's part of the M Sport Plus Package and allows you to stiffen or soften the ride at the touch of the button.
BMW Dynamic Drive introduces a two-piece active sway bar to combat this effect. When the car turns, the sway bar tightens in the opposite direction of tilt, keeping the vehicle cornering as flat as possible. Reduced body roll improves driving comfort, safety, stability, tire traction, and tire wear.
Adaptive (or active) suspension systems use sensors and microprocessors to monitor the road beneath its wheels in real time. A computer reads the data as it's sent over by the sensors and adjusts the shocks and springs to create a smooth driving experience.
Continuous Electronic Damper Control (EDC-K) -E60. The EDC-K system records road surface, vehicle load and dynamic handling data. The control module adjusts the damping force of the shock absorbers according to those parameters. In contrast with the previous system, the damping force is infinitely variable.
