All I can say it is not a consumable or serviceable part. It s basically electronic damping of the suspension so that you enjoy a more supple ride on rough roads. It gives you comfort plus. I am sure others would be able to explain it better than me.

I had DDC in my F10. Worth every dollar IMO if you want a smooth ride. When I would drive a loaner F10's without it I would notice immediately. I drove in Comfort Plus suspension most often. It gives you Comfort + but can also drop down to Sport+. So its best of both.
Another way to soften the ride to 7 series levels is to have DDC and add the wheels + tires from the 7 series. This was direct bolt on for the F10/F01. Only guessing it the same on the G30/G11. The 7 uses taller rubber tire and that really improves the ride quality. If you're choosing between DDC and Adaptive Steering I would try to get both for best comfort but feel the DDC is probably more noticeable between those two. |

I just ordered a 530e with dynamic dampers. I test drove one without and it handled very well...much smoother than my 330e but my wife hates the ride in the 330e (sport suspension) as being too harsh for her.
So getting the dynamic dampers is my solution to my home life -- comfort with soft settings when she is in the car with me and sport settings with firmer settings when I am alone. |

There have been several discussions about this topic, e.g. http://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1372802
and confusingly, BMW uses different name in different markets DDC dynamic damper control VDC variable damper control EDC electronic damper control |
