KW Coilover Kit V3 BMW 1series E81/E82/E87 (181/182/187)Hatchback / Coupe (all engines)

The KW V3 Coilover kit uses a patented TVR-A (Twin Valve Rebound - Adjustable) technology that allows oil to flow past an adjustable, conical low-speed bypass during slow damper speeds. At higher speeds, the main rebound stage valve opens for maximum fluid displacement, giving you precise control over how your suspension reacts. This is a serious piece of kit, hand-built in Germany, designed to bring motorsports-derived performance to your 2008-2013 BMW 128i, 135i, or 135is.

What this means for your car is significantly reduced pitching and rolling during hard braking, acceleration, and cornering. You'll notice improved steering feedback and better grip from your tires, which can even help shorten braking distances. The real magic here is the independent adjustability of both compression and rebound damping. You can fine-tune the low-speed compression with the TVC-A (Twin Valve Compression - Adjustable) technology, allowing you to dial in the perfect setup for your driving style or any vehicle modifications you've made, like different tires or chassis bracing. This system lets you increase compression for better cornering grip without negatively affecting rebound, which is crucial for maintaining optimal tire contact.

KW builds these V3 coilovers with Inox-Line Stainless Steel struts for permanent corrosion resistance that won't wear off, even when you're making adjustments. The composite spring perches are wear-resistant and friction-optimized, preventing oxidation. Each kit also includes elastomer bump stops with integrated dust protection to keep dirt and water away from the piston rod and seals, all while maintaining ride quality. This kit is a solid option for anyone looking to seriously improve their BMW's handling and performance on both the street and track.
