Real-world gains on your E81 E87

Dial in a firmer rebound setting for sharper turn-in, reduced roll and confident mid-corner support, then back it off for a more compliant ride on broken surfaces. The result is a planted, predictable 1 Series that carries speed with ease and still feels civil on the commute. Height adjustment from 35 to 65 mm lets you fine tune stance and geometry, ideal for fast-road use and track day preparation.

Built to last in the UK climate

KW’s inox-line stainless construction resists corrosion, so ride height adjustment remains free and easy even after winters. Every kit is rigorously tested, with quality checks throughout production. Warranty is 2 years as standard, with the potential to extend up to 5 years when installed by an authorised specialist as per KW’s terms.

What you get

• Front and rear adjustable dampers with matched springs
