Performance and adjustability you can feel
KW V2 coilovers transform the BMW 1 Series driving experience. Increase rebound force for tighter body control and higher cornering stability, or dial it back for more comfort on rough roads. If you change wheel and tyre sizes, you can easily match the damping to the new setup for confident grip and feedback. With KW’s twin-tube damper technology, adjustments in rebound do not affect compression base valves, keeping your setup predictable and easy to tune.
Built to last in UK conditions
KW’s inox-line stainless steel struts are designed to be 100 percent rust free with height adjusters that keep working year after year. After rigorous salt spray testing, KW coilover struts showed no oxidation, so you can enjoy consistent ride height and performance through every season.
Quality and warranty
Each KW Variant 2 kit is factory tested to strict quality standards. KW offers a 2-year warranty as standard, extendable to 5 years when installed by an approved KW specialist dealer.
