BMW E30 coilovers for the iconic cult class from Germany
When it took to the roads in the 1980s, it completely redefined the promise of "sheer driving pleasure." Today, the BMW 3 Series (E30) with a total output of 170 hp is an iconic classic car. We offer the right E30 suspension for every application: from continuously variable lowering with KW V1 to road products with KW V3 suspension to motorsport applications with our KW Racing products. Discover our KW Classic for enthusiasts who want to use modern damper technology in their classic cars without distorting the original character. M3 models included.
Discover the difference KW E30 coilovers make
The factory suspension
The BMW 3 Series E30 and its M3 variants score with their exceptional driving behaviour for their time. With its balanced suspension setup, the E30 offers a comfortable driving experience suitable for relaxed everyday driving. However, the now-outdated suspension technology is less compatible with modern tyres. Sporty, ambitious drivers may also find the standard suspension too soft. The setup, which is designed for comfort, quickly tends to understeer when cornering dynamically.
KW V1 for your E30
The ideal introduction to the world of coilovers! The KW V1 offers a factory set-up for a sporty, comfortable driving experience. Your only customization option is to lower your car. The E30 KW V1 reduces excessive body roll and provides agile handling without neglecting ride comfort. Perfect for all drivers who want a sportier lowering and more dynamic driving behaviour without having to make adjustments to the damper setup.

Technology Highlights
Customized lowering
This coilover suspension offers maximum possible lowering, customized to your vehicle model. You can also change this at any time after installation.
INOX LINE: High-quality stainless steel casing
The struts of KW coilover suspensions are made of high-quality stainless steel, making them rustproof. This long-lasting corrosion resistance is known as the INOX Line.
Composite spring disc
The height-adjustable KW spring plate is made from a resistant and friction-optimised polyamide composite material with a stainless steel insert. In contrast to anodised aluminium adjustable spring plates, the polyamide composite material prevents possible oxidation.
Trapezoidal thread
Thanks to our friction-optimized trapezoidal thread, you can easily adjust the vehicle lowering to your liking. Due to the protection-resistant thread, you can still adjust the lowering with millimeter precision even years after installation.

Technical component reportFAQs ABOUT E30 SUSPENSIONS BY KW
Is lowering possible with a E30 suspension by KW?
Yes. If you fancy a stepless lowering for your E30, you won't miss out at KW. Depending on the vehicle model, an individually adjustable lowering of up to 80 mm on the front axle and 80 mm on the rear axle is possible. Don't worry - this is the maximum lowering. A more discreet lowering is also possible at any time.
Will the E30 retain its cult status with new technology?
Fore sure! The BMW E30 is among the most popular young-timers in the tuning sector. A high-quality coilover suspension from KW would never distort this unique character. Instead, the suspension underlines the charm of the old 3 series model. It allows a harmonious driving characteristic and ensures greater safety on your next drive.
How long do KW coilovers last?
Of course this depends on how you use your BMW E30. With normal use and proper maintenance, a KW coilover suspension should last for at least 100,000 kilometres. However, if you use it for track days or if it is exposed to a lot of moisture, the mileage may be lower.
Do you also offer E30 suspensions for special models?
Yes! Special models such as the M3 Europameister, BMW M3 Cecotto, M3 Evolution II, Sport Evolution, and the M3 Cabriolet can be equipped with KW products. These vehicles represent motorsport history and outstanding engineering. The individually adjustable KW coilover suspensions allow the character of these iconic classics to be preserved.
