BMW 1 Series (F40) with coilover suspension

The BMW 1 Series F40, on the market since 2019, marks the third generation of the successful compact class model series and is the first to feature front-wheel or all-wheel drive. With modern engines, optional xDrive and a sporty, sharp design, the F40 offers a strong basis for dynamic tuning. Particularly in conjunction with a coilover suspension, not only can the appearance be optimised through precise lowering, but the handling can also be significantly improved. Compared to a conventional sports suspension, the height-adjustable sports suspension scores points with its infinitely variable adjustment of the vehicle height - ideal for customising the setup to suit individual requirements. While a sports suspension usually offers a fixed lowering, with a coilover suspension you can flexibly vary between 30 and 50 mm on the front axle, for example. This gives you maximum control over the road holding of your BMW 1 Series without compromising on everyday usability. Particularly in vehicles such as the F40 with its direct steering and sporty design as standard, high-quality coilover suspensions unfold their full potential.

BMW 1 Series (F40) F1H with ST XA coilover suspension

The ST XA coilover suspension brings sporty dynamics and precise handling to your BMW 1 Series F40. Thanks to the generous lowering of 35-55 mm at the front axle and 30-50 mm at the rear axle, the vehicle height can be adjusted continuously and precisely according to your wishes. Especially in the 1 Series F40 - an agile compact class model with a sporty standard set-up - the height-adjustable sports suspension really comes into its own on winding country roads and at higher speeds on the motorway. The individual rebound adjustment allows you to precisely fine-tune the driving behaviour to suit your driving style and the road conditions. Made from galvanised steel, the ST XA suspension not only stands for performance, but also for durability. Compared to a pure sports suspension with fixed lowering, the ST XA offers you maximum flexibility when setting up your vehicle. This ensures noticeably more direct handling and a sportier look - without compromising on everyday performance. Developed and manufactured by KW Automotive, the ST XA also benefits from high-quality technology and many years of expertise in the suspension sector. A real upgrade for every 1-series F40, which should offer more than just a standard feeling.

BMW 1 Series (F40) F1H with KW coilover suspension V3

With the KW coilover suspension V3 you get the maximum performance out of your BMW 1 Series (F40) F1H. The stepless lowering of 35-55 mm on the front axle and 30-50 mm on the rear axle not only ensures a significantly sportier look, but also a much more precise driving behaviour. Thanks to the separately adjustable rebound and compression damping, the height-adjustable sports suspension can be individually adapted to your requirements and track conditions - ideal for sporty, ambitious drivers who don't want to compromise. Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the KW V3 stands for maximum durability and corrosion protection. The advantage over a classic sports suspension lies in the combination of flexibility and technical finesse: While a sports suspension only allows a fixed lowering, the KW V3 offers you full control over vehicle height and damper characteristics. Especially in the BMW 1 Series F40 with its agile front-wheel drive platform and optional xDrive, the suspension really comes into its own - whether on winding country roads or dynamic motorway driving. KW's many years of racing experience have been incorporated into every component of the V3, resulting in impressive driving stability and feedback.
