G20 KW suspension upgrade. Keep it bouncy

Here's a complete KW suspension kit, a 2-WAY shock absorber with 12 independent levels of adjustment for compression damping, and 16 for rebound.
Too stiff? Too soft? Too unstable in cornering? All these should be a thing of the past with the versatility of this set.
Naturally, you should follow the instructions when installing it, and use the appropriate tools.
Usually, we'll use the settings provided by the manual, and only after a a period of driving, the owner will know exactly how to fine-tune it.
Another notable thing is that this setup can lower the front and the rear by 40-60mm.
This is what it looks like:

do you have any experience with the KW coilover set that maintains the electronic damping adjustment?

I would love to see a pre and post KW coilovers video with track times and driving impressions. That would be awesome.

Maybe I'll do something like that in the future, good idea.
For now this is as close as it gets to what you ask for, and we filmed it sometime last year.
Oh and don't worry, I added English subtitles. I did my best to convey the meaning, so I think you will find it easy to understand.

I can at least ask my supplier about it. What do you need to know?

Sorry, I don't have enough data from my customers about this. That's the best source of accurate info, while the rest may very well be marketing noise

I have a set of KW V3 installed on my 2023 M440i.

The ride quality is excellent and is what you adjust it at. Stiffer for better handling at higher speeds, and softer for a more comfortable ride. Varying the rear and front rebounds will make the rear feel more planted for power delivery out of corners and the front more stable entering corners with heavy braking.

Usability… well I chose the V3 due to wanting to adjust ride height, rebound and bump. I did not want to be limited with lowering springs, as later on I plan on switching out for different wheels and springs. Apex wheels has a thread worth looking at discussing aggressive tire options with the addition of camber plates.

Reliability, too soon for me to tell, but I chose KW over Ohlins due the use of stainless steel and salt exposure with winter weather. However others like Ohlins. Many times it comes down to defending what one chooses, as I doubt many people have first hand experience with both back to back in the same platform.
