Best coilovers for daily driving f30

Ammy340i · 10-15-2021, 09:51 PM

I live in Norcal and need coilovers that are amazing for daily driving and handling purposes. And how low should I go with 19 inch rims? I want to be low but not low enough to go over speed bumps.

Stock suspension is best.

I find my KW v1 to be pretty comfy. People always comment how smooth the ride is considering how low I am on 20s

For daily driving, KW Street Comfort are worth considering. Had these coilovers on a previous vehicle.

Comfort is subjective...try checking out your local BMW meet. See you can give you a ride

KW's are known to have the most comfort. Probably helped by their springs not being super stiff.

From experience with other vehicles, Ohlins are miracle workers. Their build quality is always top notch and their damping is always superb. I want to try their COs on my F30, but still o confirmation as far as I can find on if they work with xDrive.

As stated in other threads, the new PN from Ohlins is also suitable for xDrive.

Ohlins does offer exceptional coilovers at a price point which echoes "you get what you pay for".
