KW Installed - G80 M3 Comp

Just picked my car up from the dealer and it look's phenomenal!! Glad I waited for the KW option to become available.

It feels superb so far. The ride home is entirely made up of back roads from West Chester back to DE and definitely puts the suspension through its paces. One change I made was switching the suspension setting to Sport instead of Sport Plus in my M1 setting.

By lookin at the forum and calling around, shops that do this all the time charge $350-$450 for install. Higher end for the adjustable.

That's great that you have so many low price options in your area. Wish I had those choices

Can you clarify if the price you were quoted includes installing KW HAS, perform an alignment and replace the two OEM BMW bolts all for $350-$450?

Alignment is usually done at a later date after settling and is additional. I got the MSS installed for $250. It's less than two hours work, closer to one if you're quick!

That car looks phenomenal in Red on the Bi-colors!! Really amazing. Might be my favourite look yet, definitely up there!

Thanks for the compliments. Dealer prices are crazy compared to your deal. That's the lowest price I've heard.

What's the name of the place you had yours done at? Location?

Let's see some pics of your beast?

I wish I did too - I have to drive a bit out of the way, but the number you said is by far the highest I've seen. Granted, it included the alignment.

In any case, car looks great and you won't have to think about it any more
