Dynamic Damper Control

hello peeps, i'm building my 535xi and there is a choice to add Dynamic Damper Control.

Question: I plan on lowering the car with new springs and will lowering hurt the DDC suspension? Or is it possible for lowering springs and DDC to be combined?

Thanks

I have ddc and ACS lowering springs. Works like a charm and well worth it. The ddc change is dramatic and very noticeable from sport to comfort modes.

Adam - What do you think of the ACS springs? Is the drop significant enough? Does the handling difference live up to the hype?

Can't give my final review about the springs just yet since i've only put maybe 2-3miles on the car since i picked it up from the shop. Initial thought felt good. Car is def. a little firmer but not too much. Reminds me of how my E90 Msport feels driving around but without the harshness. This is exactly what i wanted for the F10. In terms of drop the rear looks perfect. The front still sits a little high for me but the springs should settle a bit more. Even now the ride height is acceptable for me for a daily driver. Before the springs my Xi looked like it was still on shipping blocks. Now it looks like how my E90 Msport looked on stock sports suspension. Check out my thread in the showroom for pics. In person the drop is def. noticeable right away.

Alan, do you have DDC as part of Adaptive Drive ? or as stand alone option? I'm asking just to know if DDC alone include the sport/comfort buttons beside the gear shifter!! My car is on shipping and I have DDC as stand alone. I was just wondering !!!
