KW V3 Coilovers - BMW G87 M2

The KW V3 swaps the G87 M2's adaptive dampers for stainless, height-adjustable coilovers that you set up once for your roads, your wheels and the way you drive. Rebound and compression adjust separately, so you can keep the ride civilised on a B-road and firm it up for a track day without changing any parts.

What you get

• KW V3 inox-line (stainless steel) struts and dampers for the G87 M2, supplied with KW's recommended spring rates
• Rebound adjustable over 16 clicks and compression over 12 clicks, set independently
• Continuously adjustable ride height on KW's trapezoid thread. KW quotes 20–35mm lower at the front and 15–30mm at the rear for its G87 coilover range
• A deactivation kit for the factory electronic dampers, so the car runs without fault warnings once they're removed
• A German parts certificate (TÜV) from KW. Remember to tell your insurer about any modification

Is the V3 the right choice for your M2?

The V3 suits an M2 that's mostly driven on the road and taken on track a few times a year. If you'd rather keep BMW's adaptive damper modes and just close up the arch gap, the KW height adjustable spring kit for the G87 is simpler and much cheaper. If you're on track regularly on sticky tyres, step up to the KW V4 Clubsport, which adds camber-adjustable top mounts. For a 1-way adjustable alternative, see the AST 5100 Street for the G87.

Fitting and setup at String Theory Garage

We fit KW kits in our own workshop and finish every job with ride-height setting, corner weighting and a full four-wheel alignment. If you plan to run the car noticeably lower, add a set of AST adjustable drop links so the anti-roll bar works properly at the new height. Get in touch when you order and we'll book your car in.

Questions we get asked

Can I still use the M Drive damper settings?
No. The V3 replaces the adaptive dampers, so damping is set by hand at the damper. If you want to keep the modes, choose the KW HAS kit instead.

Does it fit the M2 CS?
Get in touch with your registration and we'll confirm the part number before we order.
