BMW 3 Series Compact E46, 06/2001 onwards. If you are unsure about compatibility with your specific E46 Compact, contact us and we will help you confirm fitment.

Adjustability that puts you in control

KW Variant 2 lets you fine tune rebound damping without affecting compression. With 16 clicks you can dial in a firmer, more connected feel for spirited drives or a more compliant setup for daily use and long journeys. Adjustments are made at the top of the piston rod using the integrated wheel or the supplied twist adjuster depending on vehicle access. Increase rebound to reduce body movement and improve stability at higher corner speeds. Ideal if you run larger wheels and tyres and want the chassis balance to match your setup.

Engineered to last

KW inox-line stainless steel struts are 100 percent rust free for year round use. After rigorous salt spray testing the height adjustment remains fully operable, so you can set your ride height season after season with confidence.

KW quality and warranty

Every KW V2 coilover kit is thoroughly tested in Fichtenberg and built to exceed OEM standards. German manufacturer warranty is 2 years as standard, extendable to 5 years when installed by a KW specialist dealer.
