wheel gate ,so the AI was not mentioning the significance of DCC for permitting you to have bigger wheels, without breaking them or you back,
maybe johhny knows if they reduce the shock of the initial impact of a pot-hole, or just the exiting of the pot-hole or the rear wheel hit ?
so cupra or taviscans with that option are attractive, for me

Similar to lighter ICE cars where the only BMW M suspension offering I considered, were those with adaptive for the local pot-holes (think of the pot-holeschildren),
before eventually going to the dark-side/Audi.

rolls royce (00 too ?) solution to avoid wheel breaking would be the chinese assisitive driving that is remembering where the pot-holes are
- some genuine value there, versus a tesla/other blindly following the white line through every pot-hole.

ACC isnt magical like that with, its just valve control of the damper. I have EDC on my E92 M3 (rebound only) and DCC on my cupra born, both you can feel immediate change when pressing the wheel buttons.

I have individual mode on the born with ACC on softest setting for speed humps as it allows more wheel travel, then cupra mode is the stiffest you want to go, as expected the damper is stiffer as ACC is compression and rebound so the car feels like a stiffer damper under low frequency bumps, but on broken roads it doesn't really make a significant difference. For a 2ton car on 40 profile it seems to cope with bumpers very well in any setting and never crashy.
 
Spring and tyres is your main energy systems on a wheel corner. Adaptive dampers more for the finer secondary control. Cant fight physics with tech, especially if you stick to an OEM marketing name.
 
Well that's flown by. Nearly 5 years with an i3. Here it is having new boots recently.
Been a pleasure to own but hasn't been without a few problems, mostly covered under the warranty except the cabin heater that went 50/50 on the replacement. The car was out of warranty but managed to get BMW to contribute given it was and still is a very low milage example. Currently just over 9500 miles covered, mostly in my ownership.
Issues covered under the manufacturers warranty was the AUC sensor and the driver's seat base needing replacing as it was creaking and had play.

I've had Co Charger for 4 months now, got first message today for someone to charge at my house on Saturday. Anyone using it? Straight forward I assume as the payment goes into your bank.
