He clearly states in a thread (which I have not found yet) that BMW EDC is mechanical, not MR. He also goes on to say MR systems perform poorly in cold temperatures as well as discussions further limitations with MR. I’ll keep looking but below are the two links I’ve found so far.

Great point. Makes 100% sense about the shortfalls of MR based systems.
