KW V4 Coilovers

Any feedback on these coilovers on the X5M/X6M?

I found this video but it's all German

I started a thread on here about KW approximately a year ago. Endstate. The vast majority of people on this forum use the MSS setup. I went as far as to order from KW. Issue.......3-4 month wait to get into the USA at the time. I listened to the majority on this and had the MSS solution in less than a week, installed for over a year in all weather and the ride is great with no issues minus the standard issue with not being able to adjust enough front camber.

Literally noone (at the time) supported purchasing these coilovers or even the kit they sell that mimics the MSS style of kit.

But maybe your results will vary.

Out of curiosity, not defending mss in any way, what deficiencies of mss are you hoping to solve with this set up?

KW V4 is an expensive coilover.
It is a great product, sold and installed a few on F90 M5 and F93 M8.

KW USA has stop stocking product in US warehouse in the past few years.
So, non popular item, the US distributor or reseller won't stock it and put it as special order item.
Usually special order item, KW Germany will get it ready and landed to you within 6-8 weeks.

Now, another thing why KW V4 or KW V3 unpopular on SUV platform.
99% of customers who called me with X3M/X4M/X5M/X6M or X3/X4/X5/X6/X7, #1 question with lowering and spacer is "Will it scrape after lowering it with H&R or MSS?".

I currently have the MSS and its much softer than OEM as even higher, I am able to remain flatter with the OEM springs.

That being said, I am looking to sell the MSS and replace with a less forgiving lowering HAS system. Does anyone have a recommendation?
