BMW E30 with coilover suspension

The BMW E30, produced from 1982 to 1994, is one of the most iconic models of the 3 Series and is still very popular with enthusiasts today. With its classic design, low weight and agile suspension set-up, the E30 offers an excellent basis for sporty upgrades. The high-performance variants in particular, such as the 325i or the legendary M3 E30, have cemented this model's status as an icon of driving pleasure. A coilover suspension is the perfect choice for realising the full potential of the BMW E30. Compared to a conventional sports suspension, a height-adjustable sports suspension allows the vehicle height to be continuously adjusted, which not only improves the appearance but also optimises handling. Thanks to individually adjustable components, you can tune the suspension perfectly to your needs - whether for winding country roads or everyday use. While a sports suspension only offers fixed lowering, a height-adjustable sports suspension allows maximum flexibility.

BMW E30 Sedan with KW coilover suspension V3

The KW coilover suspension V3 for the BMW E30 Sedan is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a precise balance between sportiness and control. Thanks to the individually adjustable rebound and compression damping, you can adapt the driving behaviour exactly to your needs. The infinitely variable lowering of 60-80 mm on the front axle and 55-80 mm on the rear axle not only provides a sportier look, but also significantly improves road holding and handling. Manufactured from high-quality galvanised steel, the KW V3 offers a long service life and high resistance to weathering. Thanks to the separately adjustable damping levels, you can tune the suspension perfectly to different road conditions - whether for dynamic cornering or stable performance at high speed. Compared to a conventional sports suspension, the KW V3 offers much greater flexibility, as it can be optimally adapted to your driving profile.

BMW E30 Sedan with KW coilover suspension V3 Classic Line

The KW coilover suspension V3 Classic Line is the ideal choice for BMW E30 owners who want to combine modern driving behaviour with a classic look. Developed especially for historic vehicles, this suspension offers the proven KW V3 technology with independently adjustable rebound and compression damping, packaged in a design that preserves the classic car character of the E30. With a stepless lowering of 60-80 mm on the front axle and 55-80 mm on the rear axle, you can individually adjust the vehicle height to optimise both the look and the handling. Unlike the KW inox-line technology, this suspension uses high-quality galvanised steel to preserve the authentic look of the E30, while still offering excellent durability and corrosion resistance. Thanks to the independent adjustment of the rebound and compression damping, the driving behaviour can be fine-tuned - from a firm, but suitable for everyday use, to a sporty, agile suspension configuration for dynamic cornering. With the two-stage compression adjustment with low and high-speed valves, the V3 Classic Line offers a noticeable improvement in handling compared to standard or conventional sports suspensions. The high-speed valve ensures that fast suspension movements - caused by bumps, for example - are cushioned, while the low-speed valve precisely regulates the lateral inclination when cornering or braking. While many classic vehicles lose driving stability over time, the KW V3 Classic Line enables precise adaptation to modern road conditions without changing the character of the vehicle. Especially for E30 owners who want to drive their saloon in a sportier way, this suspension offers a unique balance between historic looks and state-of-the-art damping technology.

Stepless lowering of up to 80 mm for a sporty look
