M2 CS adaptive suspension retrofit possible?

With the release of the M2 CS and its adaptive suspension/dampers will retrofit be technically possible in the M2C and OG2?

How entrenched electronically would the system be?

Of course then how much is it likely to cost and would it be worth it over say the usual stable of high end coilover options.

I think JetBill retrofitted some adaptive dampers to his M2, but not sure if they were from BMW or aftermarket.

Yes - it can be done.

Based on Jetbill's R&D, I'd say you'd be spending more than 2 times a decent set of coilovers.

KW DDC is an off-the-shelf TUV approved aftermarket option that'll out-perform oem CS adaptive retrofit...

If you get a used set from the m3 guys, it should be cheaper than coil overs.

But the way to go is using DSC controller like jetbill did.

Would be awesome to use the OEM suspension button next to the shifter as well, even if it doesn't integrate to the display.

Wow this is pretty epic. I'm sad I didn't see this till now, I probably would have taken a gamble on it lol. literally yesterday ordered Ohlins R&T!

Maybe a project for the future if i'm not satisfied haha.
