The E90 and E92 3 Series represent the last generation BMW built without a filter between the driver and the road. The steering talks to you. The chassis responds. And when you lower it with the right hardware, it rewards you visually and dynamically at the same time. The KW V1 is the straightforward way to do that: height adjustable, properly engineered, and built to last.
This listing covers the rear-wheel-drive Sedan and Coupe variants specifically. KW tunes the V1 spring and damper rates for the 2WD chassis, so the setup is balanced rather than compromised. The stainless steel construction handles whatever your climate throws at it year after year, and the TUV certification keeps everything legal for street use on both sides of the Atlantic.

Professional installation is recommended. This kit is for 2WD applications only. Confirm your vehicle is not an xDrive variant before ordering. A four-wheel alignment is required immediately after installation.
