BMW 1 Series (F20) with coilover suspension
As a compact premium five-door model, the BMW 1 Series (F20) has a sporty DNA and impresses with its balanced weight distribution and classic rear-wheel drive architecture - a rarity in its vehicle class. Produced from 2011 to 2019, it offers a broad power spectrum from efficient four-cylinder engines to the M135i with 326 hp, depending on the model variant. If you want to utilise the full driving potential of this model, you can opt for a height-adjustable sports suspension. The stepless lowering system allows the vehicle height to be precisely adjusted - for more direct handling, greater stability and a significantly more dynamic appearance. Compared to a classic sports suspension, the coilover suspension scores above all with its flexibility: the lowering is individually adjustable, which gives you a clear advantage both visually and in terms of driving dynamics. While a sports suspension, for example, offers a fixed lowering of approx. 30 mm, with a coilover suspension you can often vary the lowering between 35 and 65 mm depending on the system - perfect for a performance that is customised to you. In the BMW 1 Series F20 in particular, this not only provides a sportier look, but also improves the steering behaviour and a more precise driving feel on the road.

BMW 1 Series (F20) 1K4 with KW V1 coilover suspension
The KW V1 coilover suspension not only gives the BMW 1 Series (F20) 1K4 a sportier look, but also specifically improves the driving behaviour. With a continuously adjustable lowering of 25-50 mm on the front axle and 30-55 mm on the rear axle, the vehicle height can be precisely adjusted - according to your personal style. The suspension is made of high-quality stainless steel and offers a long service life thanks to its corrosion-resistant "inox-line" surface - even in adverse weather conditions. The KW V1 suspension was specially developed for sporty, ambitious drivers who value a harmoniously tuned setup. Although the hardness is not adjustable, the system impresses with a perfectly pre-configured damper setup, which brings a noticeable improvement both on agile cornering and in everyday driving. Compared to a conventional sports suspension with fixed lowering, the height-adjustable sports suspension offers significantly more flexibility and a noticeably more direct steering response - ideal for bringing the potential of the 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine in the 118i even better onto the road. The KW V1 coilover suspension is therefore the perfect choice for all those who want to combine a sporty setup with suitability for everyday use and durable technology - without having to compromise on uncompromising performance.
Advantages of the KW V1 coilover suspension for the BMW 1 Series (F20) 1K4
- Stepless lowering at the front: 25-50 mm
- Stepless lowering at the rear: 30-55 mm
- High-quality stainless steel strut
- Pre-configured damper setup for the road
- Sporty look & more precise handling
BMW 1 Series (F20) 1K4 with ST XA coilover suspension
With the ST XA coilover suspension, you can get the most out of the BMW 1 Series (F20) 1K4 - both visually and in terms of driving dynamics. The continuously adjustable lowering of 25-50 mm on the front axle and 30-55 mm on the rear axle allows you to adjust the vehicle height to suit your preferences. The chassis is made of galvanised steel and is therefore optimally protected against external influences. A particular highlight is the adjustable rebound damping, which allows you to adapt the driving behaviour specifically to your driving style - whether sporty and firm or balanced for everyday use. The ST XA offers you a clear advantage in terms of customisability and performance, especially in comparison to an ST X suspension, which does not offer hardness adjustment. In combination with the lightweight rear-wheel drive platform of the F20, the ST XA coilover suspension brings a noticeable improvement in turn-in behaviour, cornering stability and overall handling - perfect for drivers who want to get more out of the 118i. The ST XA is the ideal choice for all those who not only want to lower the 1 Series, but also make it significantly more dynamic on the road, thanks to its optimum tuning for sporty requirements and lowering suitable for everyday use.
Advantages of the ST XA coilover suspension for the BMW 1 Series (F20) 1K4
- Individually adjustable rebound damping
