2023 G80X | KW V3's

Just purchased the new m3 today. I have been searching around for suspension and read so many mixed reviews on the Has Kit VS Springs. Has anyone installed the V3 on their m3 ? was it worth it ?

have attached some images of the vehicle from the dealer below.

Check put my Official KW v4 review in the suspension section. I can say that in my track setup there is considerable road noise and vibration throughout the chasis and the butt of your seat. I have the standard seats I can only imagine the buckets. The chasis is speaking to me, so to speak. Here is the thing, if your any other road that is not perfectly smooth you will feel everything. Luckily for me I live in florida so the roads are perfect. I love it, money well spent

Congrats on the new pickup!!

I had the KW HAS kit on mine and absolutely loved it! I am thinking of getting the V3's for my incoming 23CX. Please provide feedback if you decide to go with them!

I have V3’s on my G82 M4. I had a HAS kit before the V3’s and didn’t like the HAS at all. Ride was ok but full suspension was a must. HAS felt like a wavy ride to me and not dialed in. V3’s were a noticeable upgrade from the HAS (as expected). Ride is smooth, planted and get a lower drop than HAS if desired. I would imagine V4’s would be an even bigger step up.. really depends on your intent with the car.
