35iS Adaptive suspension control unit

I had a suspension fault warning come up about 6 weeks ago on my 35iS.

The dealer diagnosed a faulty control unit for the adaptive suspension - everything else was ok. The unit was replaced.

6 weeks later and the same fault comes up. Dealer again says computer indicates the control unit is again faulty. They were suspicious as the previous fault was the same part so have sent a report to BMW and await comment as to whether to replace the control unit for a 2nd time.

Has anyone had one of these units break or any other related issues with the adaptive suspension ?

Sorry to derail the topic but how comfortable is the adaptive suspension on the 35is? It's lowered compared to the 35i isn't it?

The roads around here are horrendous but if it's just as pliant as the 35i in Normal mode...

The suspension failure / fault warning light came up in the dash - a yellow picture of a shock absorber.

It depends on what your 35i has? Fixed or adaptive suspension? It's an option on the 35i and standard on 35is
