[danewilson77]

Fitment is for sedan, coupe, vert only. No Xi, no touring.

New price at Modbargains is $1450.00 (understood that this also includes rears)

What I have is one brand new "Left" front KW V1, and one rebuilt "Right" KW V1. I will include a height adjustment spanner wrench. I have a few of them. I will also include a copy of the install directions/manual.

This is ideal for someone who cannot afford the entire KW V1 coilover kit.

Purchase this, plus a set of rear lowering springs = Done.

Used coilover body has zero rust, though there is some discoloration, near the bottom, where is bolts in. Springs are in great shape. A brand new Coilover dampener was installed by yours truly.

$400.00 + Shipping.

Not in a huge rush to see these go, as it's nice to have a spare set laying around.

New on right, refurbed on left

Refurbed Coilover body markings > This coilover body has < 5K miles on it.

New dampener that was installed

I have one new dampener in reserve, that I may throw into the pot to sweeten the deal.

I think shipping may run $25.00 to $30.00.

Thanks for looking,

Dane, what is the Fitment for these? Non-M? More so, would they work with my 325xi? Interested cause these are going for a great price

Dunno. Will research


What's the ride like vs stock?

Ride is comparable to stock. Slightly firmer if anything. I drive shitty roads 100 miles per day, and I love them.

[GSEN820]

This is a great deal. Rear springs and call it a drop.........


Can I try these out first to give potential buyer another opinion of how these handle...... haha

[danewilson77]

My ride is only slightly firmer, I believe, because I have the front ride height dialed all the way down. I only rolled with it at stock height for a short period of time, and it was definitely softer than it is now.

It can be tweaked to the drivers preference. I like that.

The site I got them at definitely makes a delineation between XI/wagon and sedan/vert/wagon/coupe, though wagon is listed under both? I might have to call.

Part numbers are definitely different, though I don't know why.

Funny that sedan is listed twice on this list. I dunno. I might call just to find out why, though I'm almost positive someone will chime in here.

Damn. These are $1450.00 new. I may not be asking enough.

And can I ask exactly why this additional option wasn't listed last weekend to further confuse my non-suspension-ride-height- ride -firmness mind? If it rode stiff enough, I would have thought it was my fillings rattling instead of the calipers rattling.

Seriously, talk to me, how would these benefit me? Would I have to compress any springs again to do the R&R?

[wsmeyer]

Sooooo tempted. I don't really want to lower my car but I want the front to match the verts naturally sagging rear.

They would only benefit you from the fact that you could change ride height in the front. And you would never have to use spring compressor again :)

So no more "X" coupe? Got me thinking again, not a good thing.

So I assume the tool works then? Glad to see you got them all refurb'd and ready to go...

[danewilson77]

Yes Sir. Like a champ. Thanks again Joopy. I updated the other "tool build" thread.

Glad to see you made it out of SoCal with your life. I also don't recall you posting "Crazy Japanese ZHP woman driver" in the spotted thread,

[JupiterBMW]

Hahha... Yeah, I survivied, but then again, I was in Manhattan Beach, rando's part of town... Much nicer than downtown Long Beeeaaaaach!

[Crestwood1001]

No XI. FACK! :(

No take backs...Ha Ha.

Man I need shocks bad, I have one that's shot and another that's leaking.

Hmmmm....?????

[danewilson77]

Fronts?

[WOLFN8TR]

One front and one rear.

[danewilson77]

So you would need rears then as well.

[danewilson77]

Gotta admit...I was sold by the video and the reviews.
