The M3 and M4 ship with M Adaptive Suspension because the engineers understood that people who buy this car actually use the damper modes. Comfort on the daily, Sport when the road demands it, Sport Plus on track. You built your driving routine around all three, and installing KW coilovers was not supposed to change that.
The KW ESC module is the right solution for an M car. A cancellation kit removes fault codes and takes your M Adaptive Suspension modes with it. The KW ESC module reads the drive mode signals from your M3 or M4's adaptive damper system and translates them into real adjustment commands on the KW coilover hardware. Switch modes in iDrive and the KW suspension responds. Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus, all of them working, all of them felt.
