KW V3
My F15 has the base suspension with rear air suspension, but it's pretty wobbly and has a ton of body roll. I am looking for a stiffer ride and saw that KW released a V3 coilover for the F15 with rear air suspension. However, I searched all over the internet and have not found any one actually using it. If any one has it on your car, could you let me know if the coilover makes the car too stiff? I had the KW Street Comfort coilover on my wife's 328i xDrive, and while I love the performance, it sucks on bad roads - every time going over a medium sized pothole, the shock is very uncomfortable and makes the car feel like it's going to break. I heard the KW V3 is stiffer and want to see if anyone has feedbacks with it on a F15/F16.

I have a client with KW V3 that I installed for him. I test drove the car and it felt more solid then stock. Not stiff, but solid.

How about when you go over potholes? Is the ride still compliant?

Yes, in comfort mode, it's pretty wobbly and a lot of body rolls and make me not confident to handle the car. better in sport mode, but it still not solid even I have adaptive m suspension and m sport. r33_RGSport can you tell the KW V3 price for F15?

But, over small freeway connector bumps, it is more solid. Not waving up and down like before when it was stock.

Adaptive M suspension doesn't completely remove the body roll but I think it drastically reduces it. Out of curiosity, did you adjust the settings in the iDrive? If you did and you still feel the body roll, then perhaps a drop and stiffer springs are in order. Or find a car with DHP which virtually eliminates the body roll.
