jlgt3 · 11-24-2008, 01:54 AM

i have H&R springs on my car over 3 weeks, and never have any problems. but the EDC malfunction message pop out on iDrive this morning.

You should bring it to the dealer and let them have a look. Havent seen any complain from H&R owners so far, Im getting mine install on wednesday.

Keep us updated on the problem!

LOL, if I were a dealer and someone brought in an EDC malfunctioning car with H&R springs on it I would just laugh at them.

This is way you need to get on well with your dealer! I have never had a problem because of springs with my dealer and also my Merc dealer as well!

rzm3 · 11-24-2008, 09:18 PM

Please keep us updated. Loose plugs?

gthirtyfizle · 11-24-2008, 09:21 PM

Yes, please keep us updated

It could be anything. Too early to tell if it has anything to do with the springs or not.

JMARS · 11-25-2008, 05:57 PM

I would DEFFINETLY take them off first before you took it in to the dealer, especially if your not buddy buddy with your Service Writer.

Common malfunction EDC is usually from a loose plug. Check it with the person who did the install, and it thats not the case, bring it back to the dealer. Most customers with H&R spring with EDC havent encounter any problem yet so far.

Hope everything goes well ! Keep us updated.

rzm3 · 11-27-2008, 11:01 PM

bump for update!

elm3 · 12-01-2008, 11:14 AM

Bump second time for update...

1º · 12-03-2008, 01:49 PM

hes probably not updating cause they voided the warranty and he doesnt want to talk about it haha

hope everything is ok lol.

I wonder if the problem occurred because of the H&R's

it is good to hear that! I wonder if it was the H&R that caused the problem. That's rare, because mine works fine and I havent heard any problem from any other owners as well.

MMMorish · 12-13-2008, 03:09 PM

I started my car this morning and got the same message on my idrive screen and I don't even have any springs done to my car. I started my car a few hours later and the message was gone.

What gives!!??

itz16v · 12-17-2008, 06:35 PM

Good news, glad the problem is solved. BTW which dealer did you bring the car too?

doba_s · 12-20-2008, 11:07 AM

glad everything is ok now ...

these first generation M3s are still raw I think ... BMW should do a better job testing their cars before releasing them to the public ...
