Why enthusiasts choose Variant 3

KW’s twin-tube technology with independent damping control gives you the freedom to fine-tune your BMW for any road or circuit.

It is the benchmark upgrade for a focused 2 Series suspension build.

• Stainless steel housings: corrosion resistant inox-line struts for long-term durability
• Continuous height adjustment: precise stance and corner balance options
• Composite spring seats and trapezoidal threads: smooth adjustment even after years on UK roads
• No special tools needed for compression adjustment at the lower end of the body
• Included adjuster for rebound on the piston rod where applicable

Proven performance pedigree

Developed using KW’s 7-post rig and validated on country roads, motorways and the Nürburgring Nordschleife, Variant 3 draws from motorsport programmes including ADAC GT Masters, FIA GT and VLN. Its damping characteristics, finish and longevity have made it a favourite with performance car owners and respected tuners such as Alpina, MTM, Manthey and Oettinger.
