M2 kW coilover

Anyone has any experience with kW coilover? Saw a pic of a lowered m2 with kW coilover and it looks really cool. My m2 is pretty much a daily car and I don't plan to do any track stuff. I just worried the ride quality will substantially reduced with kW coilover. Any comments?

KW will build a variety of coilover options for the M2, starting from Variant 3 coilovers for good performance and excellent street ride comfort, to ClubSport coilovers for incredible track performance at a small comfort expense.

We have the triple adjustable ClubSport coilovers on our M2. We just had the car in Los Angeles for BimmerFest, and drove it throughout LA. The ride quality was very good! The M2 is still able to absorb bumps with ease, while achieving an instant turn-in response and very flat handling.

Are they are making their adjustable ones? I remember they had some that can be raised a small amount electronically that would be nice. I have the V3 on my is300 which hasnt moved in a year(more then one)

That that white looks.. awesome.

The KW lift kit is a whole different add on that costs as much, if not more than the coilovers.

I have had KW V3's on my RS6 since 2011 and put about 30,000 miles on them so far, they have been rock solid! Great handling. I put them at the rebound setting recommend by KW (very difficult to get at the front shocks to adjust them since the adjustment is on the top, the rears can be adjusted from under the car) and lowered the car. Put them in DIY....very happy with them. The build quality is excellent.
