My V1s have the hex hole, I love the suspension but it makes a bit of noise and I am not the only one who has this problem.

Just chipping in to share my option.
I fitted Bilstein PSS10 B16 KOMFORT to my F30 (48-229012). These have a longer spring than the normal B16 PSS10. Lowering is in the -10-30mm range, not the -30-50mm range for the normal version. I didn't want to go that low. I fitted them because I don't rate the standard M Sport suspension ( I've had both Adaptive and passive, both suck!!!). Verdict, wow what a transformation, the car now rides like an M3/M4, no jokes it really does stick to the road. It is also far less crashy when going over potholes, etc. An amazing transformation |

mine is KW V2 installed on my 328i.
after a while i notice the bump stop was destroyed. had my car jacked one time at the local tyre shop for tyre swap and noticed the bump stop is like shredded foam and the dust cover wasnt in tact anymore. also the rear perch or height adjuster need longer threads, at the highest ride the clearance between fender and wheel is only one finger gap. hate to drive the in laws in my car cos fender scrub and malaysian roads has lots of potholes. emailed KW and asked if they have a longer perch than the one that came in the box, apparently they do but they dont post it under spare parts in their website had to order them and they came with coil spring as a set. in all, i guess KW makes good suspension but really should consider on the options of height, i didnt look at this as a problem in the beginning, but when you are running on 19's with 30 series tyres, hits you like a bitch!

I just installed the BC Racing Coilovers on my 328 F30, and I'm seriously impressed. Great ride, great adjustability, great look (both car and suspension). All in all I'm pretty stoked.
I posted a review on the BC racing coilover discussion. Pictures to follow. |

i thought the fronts come with the camber plates included, or are you referring to the rears? also, do you need to replace the oem camber arms (e.g. megan racing camber control arms) in order to adjust camber or is the bc camber plates along with oem arms enough?

The rear, I haven't really looked into this. I though the rear camber/caster could be adjusted, but maybe I need to change the control arms to get those right. |

Fronts are more than adjustable. Dropped 3" my plates are almost centered giving me equal adjustment either negative or positive. This is with my alignment set more to the conservative side of BMW's spec. From factory only toe is adjustable. (slight adjustments can be made within the strut tower for camber/caster but very minimal) The rear I had to opt for the upper arms from Megan to get my camber within even the aggressive end of BMW spec. (again, I am set on the conservative side & dropped 3"). From factory it is fully adjustable but obviously only so much. Depending on how much you drop you can get away with the stock arms. You should be able to get away with dropping 2~2.5". I was slightly off the aggressive end at 3". |

sorry for the mini thread hi jack...
Does anyone know if there's a DIY on how to get the trunk liners out to the point in this picture below? Someone posted it earlier in this thread when showing the KW suspension wiring. Trying to run some electrical wiring (for an exhaust cutout) from under the car and to the fuse box in the trunk. |
