How good is BMW Performance Coilover Suspension?

jhall1957 · 07-09-2018, 08:09 AM

So, I have a 2017 M2 Performance Edition that came with, among other things, the BMW Performance Coilover suspension.
Ive just sold my Spec E46 and am retiring from racing but not from track driving. I'll run some HPDE's and maybe TT. My thought is to use the M2. I'll be adding some safety items so don't freak but the question is, how good is this suspension set up?

Any first hand experience is particularly welcome!

I believe it’s basically KW V3 - so a good combo street/track setup.

My first time at a HPDE, my instructor drove my car during the first laps of the first session to get a feel for my car. He commented that my setup felt very good.

I'm running the M Perf Coilovers with both settings at +3 (and lowered a bit). It is a little rough on bumpy streets but I've gotten used to it and prefer the feel of it when I go around corners vs. factory values.
