Finding the right suspension for the F80 M3 was something I wanted to find out. After giving it sometime to settle in, I think I made up my decision. In this video, I review my personal opinion on the KW DDC vs the Bilstein B16 Coilovers.
Look, everyone at the end of the day has their own needs and preferences. This new suspension fills my needs and so far have been blown away by it.

Thanks so much for taking the time to give a thorough and honest review of the setups. I mentioned to you previously I was in the market for some and you’re spot on with the reasons why I’m upgrading. Like you, I’m making the purchase price point make sense 💰🙂. I’ll let you know which setup I went with soon. Thanks again for bringing so much value to our industry and Happy Holidays to you and your family 🤘🏽💯

2:20 that shift tho lol great compression video super informative! It’s definitely made me think more about the set up I’ll be going with in the future because I’ll be installing the BMW M performance HAS Kit soon and see how that setup feels but later in the future I’ll be looking for a more track ready set up. Glad you were able to find the suspension set up you were looking for ✊🏽 and thanks for the honest opinions.

Nice video! I had the same issue with my daily driven Golf GTI Clubsport, it had Bilstein B14 in my previous golf 7,5 but the Bilsteins doesn't low enough and are very hard. now I have DCC in my Golf 7 GTI clubsport and this car half daily driven car (with kids in the backseat) / half performance car, so I'll go for the KW DDC ;)

@biggboi1967 2 года назад

Ken, this is the best review I’ve seen on KW and Bilstein coilovers. You having experienced both brands puts you at another level to speak about this topic. I own a 2015 335i and I’ve been dying to lower it, but lowering springs is not something I want to do. I’ve been researching this topic for about 2 to 3 years and I’ve made my decision, all thanks to you.

@TheDailyDriven 2 года назад

Thank you! Means a lot to hear this from a viewer. I try my best to explain my experience with both suspensions so it's easy to understand. 🙏🏻

@andrxito Год назад

wonder how the Bilstein Damptronic would compare, for an apples to apples

@TheFoxho Год назад

It is true, the KW is a lot more compliant compared to the B16... And for this reason, it was rather disappointing on track. Most of my mates eventually went with B16 DCC or Nitron coilovers.

@euklidacragas 19 дней назад

The best suspenion for the F80 is the Intrax 1k2 with ARC and Black Titan. If you want to maintain the EDC(which I don't recommend anymore), Tractive Touring is better than the DDC's and the B16's, a lot more comfortable and far better pitch, roll and yaw. I have tested all these suspensions personally and owned most of them.

@mikesvipergt2378 2 года назад

Great video! Thanks for the review it was so helpful. I ride in comfort mode most of the time and you review pointed me to the KW DDC is what I will put on my 428 M sport. Stance and ride quality is the most important. I have H & R lowering spring right now, but the ride height is just not low enough. You video helped me to decide what coilovers to buy. Thanks again!

@TheDailyDriven 2 года назад

No prob! Thank you for watching! I'm not too sure if KW makes a DDC for the 4series. I think they might have something similar.

@TheDailyDriven 2 года назад

Yeah I've adjusted the settings and they were still rough compared to the KW's. I honestly think the KW are ideal for daily driving. I'm still shocked on how comfortable they are.

@RAElias Год назад

I’m looking to upgrade to an EDC compatible coilover setup. I primarily use my car just for street driving, but also plan on 3-4 track days a year. I live in the tristate area. Would you recommend the Bilstein or the KWs as the better all around for this usage? Do you feel that the DDC’s in sport plus would be adequate on track? Thanks.

@user-ho5bm4uq7c 3 месяца назад

In another video it was mentioned that the reason Bilstines don’t go lower than 1.6 is because they feel it is unsafe for the front axle. They said going below 1.6 inches will change the angle of the arms too steeply. I have no hard evidence, just quoting another video from a member. But KW know what they are doing as well so who knows what’s right. 😊

@TheDailyDriven 3 месяца назад

Awesome insight! Thank you for chiming in. Definitely did not know that. The KW is definitely accomplish whatever I was looking for. Low stance with a awesome ride quality

@andrewthomson9854 2 года назад

I thought the KW V3 did come in edc. Could be wrong. Great video

@TheDailyDriven 2 года назад

No unfortunately the V3 don't. What you can get with the V3 is a EDC delete kit. Which removes the check engine light after it being installed.

@christianwilfredo5694 2 года назад

From your review it looks like I'm going for the KW DDC for the better ride quality. Though you did mention that people in New York go with air ride because of their terrible roads and I have bad roads in my area too. I've never tried air ride. If i prioritize comfort over everything do you think i should just go with air ride or the KW's?(price isn't an issue) Also someone here mentioned the TRACTIVE coilovers, do you have an opinion on those?

@TheDailyDriven 2 года назад

I honestly would go with the KW DDC'S. Kw does make a add on product that raises the front up about 1.5 inches with a push of a button. You'll have to ask then for the compatibility of them. That should help on being low and the bad roads.

@lancegallant3647 4 месяца назад

Got kw v3 on the b7 rs4 absolutely transformed the car 100% absolutely mental hiw she handles now but U gotta pay to play :-)

@aw614 2 года назад

Ah bilsteins and their fast rebounds on highway bumps, all to familiar for me lol, some bridges and parts of I75 in the Tampa get tested with the fast rebounds. Seems like all their sport based shocks have that feel, guess they haven't changed that characteristic. About the Ground control camber plates, are they pillow ball/spherical or poly bushings and no noises with the Ground Control camber plates? I don't know how the New York guys can run static suspensions or even slammed cars, especially in the city, still shocked at the stuff I've seen everytime I visit family.

@TUNINGDONERIGHTMX5 Год назад

Great video. I'm currently on KW Street comfort on my e93 and want something more sporty feeling. Do you think V3 or DDC with ECU would work better? Besides DDC, is there any differences between V3 and DDC? Thanks and enjoy your ride bro.

@TheDailyDriven 2 года назад

Hi thanks for checking out the video. To be quiet honest, I actually just sat in my buddies F80 M3 that had the V3 and they rode similar to my KW DDC's. The suspension was a similar ride when compared to the DDC. Only downfall on that was not being able to change the EDC. Im a huge fan of having the ability to change the EDC. Especially if the car comes with that feature.

@steveb540i 2 года назад

So we know you like the feel of the KW's in comfort but how about some more clarification on how the KW's feel when driven in sport or sport plus. And how much improvement over stock is it for $4300 plus install?

@TheDailyDriven 2 года назад

Great questions. In Sport the overall feel is a bit tighter and but not considered to be rough. The rebounds on the KW's during Sport are poised and it still feels as though the suspension is absorbing the rebounds. Compared the the B16? You'll have an increase stiffness and will be the responsiveness from the Rebounds. As you get into Sport Plus that just amplifies a little more. From my experience when driving in Sport Plus, the rebounds are sharp and the suspension feel nimble. While riding in Sport plus I never felt as though it was too much. For $4300 price tag, is subjective. You need to decide if lowering your car is something you want / need and if you want something that is forgiving (ride quality). The KW's drastically decreases bodyroll for performance and keeps the car leveled during "Pulls". Hopefully that helps ⬆️

@bluestonemetallic7 2 года назад

…have you considered MSS (HAS) kit since it is designed to work with OEM dampers. I got them for my G30 b/c I only have less than 1k miles on the clock.

@TheDailyDriven 2 года назад

No I haven't but I think at this point I'm sticking with this setup. It checks all my boxes so far.

@ProcTech 2 года назад

Looking at KW DDC for my 340i. Are they still doing well on your M? How was your alignment after install?

@TheDailyDriven 2 года назад

I'm not sure if they make the KW DDC Coilovers for the F30. They may have something similar. I can honestly say they are amazing. I've put the car back to stock now since it's going to be traded in but out of the 3 difference suspension setups these were my favorite. You'll definitely need to get an alignment after any suspension upgrades.

@adrianleon1731 5 месяцев назад

I currently run the KW V1s on my A3. While they’re pretty good, my main issue is I get hella rubbing on the rear with my 19 inch wheels. Since they don’t have damping I can’t do anything about it except just get a different set of coilovers. Looking at the LW V2 and the Bilstein B16 PSS10. Which one would you recommend to fix this issue?

@uklmngubane5661 Год назад

If you are purchasing that kit solely for its appearance, you are squandering your money: There are numerous options available: Few individuals can afford to constantly track a vehicle, to be honest. However, some of us engage in high-endurance driving and are searching for suspension parts that can improve the handling of your vehicle at high speeds. Especially if you are operating a highly tuned vehicle with significantly more power than stock; So which shocks are superior in such circumstances? anyone willing to aid

@Kevinarie 3 месяца назад

Hi, im running on KW HAS kit on my F80 now. And planned to change with KW V3, are they worth with the price? And which one more comfortable between KW HAS and KW coilover? I mean comfort for city driving, softness when hit bumps and small potholes maybe?

@TheDailyDriven 3 месяца назад

Yes it would be absolutely more comfortable than the KW HAS kit. You also have more adjustability on that
