How is the Dynamic Damping Control different from BMW’s familiar Electronic Damping Control?
Dynamic Damping Control is faster than EDC because it is managed via the new FlexRay electronic communication protocol, which is the fastest of its kind in the industry. This means that at highway speeds, DDC is capable of sensing that the right-front wheel, for example, has impacted a pothole, and can adjust shock damping at the right-rear wheel before it reaches the same pothole. DDC also plays a role to help tame squat and dive under all conditions.
