Basically it's an advanced active chassis management system (similar to one in M5 & M6) yet based on a FlexRay technology. Due faster and better communication (via FlexRay) between several chassis & drivetrain sub-systems (eg. suspension, brakes, engine, gearbox etc) the car is able to react in milliseconds - resulting in better driving dynamics (handling, traction, steering etc).

I think my sources made a point.

Of course M3 is more nimble & agile since it's smaller & lighter. And size + weight are also the reasons 5er / 6er need some more electronic help to fight the laws of physics, while no need for 3er to get that help.

Which of these statements are right? Will the M3 have the flexray M-Dynamics system featuring active chassis management like you said earlier or will the EDC system be exclusive for M5/M6?? But in that case a flexray implementation wouldn't make sense!
