BMW i5 (G60E) with KW V3: Pure performance for the electric saloon
The new BMW i5 (G60 incl. M60) has everything you would expect from a modern business saloon: quietness, comfort and cutting-edge technologies. For sporty drivers, however, the standard chassis may seem too restrained. The focus is on comfort. As usual, our complete spring and damper system is used on the front axle, while the KW V3 dampers are combined with the standard BMW air spring on the rear axle. This transforms the i5 into a saloon that meets the demands of sporty, ambitious drivers. Without compromising on comfort.

Our KW product
The sporty ride you've been looking for is here. The KW V3 coilover kit on the front axle, combined with the BMW i5 (G60E), results in a car with more dynamics without losing any premium comfort. With our V3, the i5 (G60E and M60) responds more directly to steering commands and provides more precise road feedback. On top of that, it also has agile handling and stepless lowering.
Customized lowering
This coilover suspension offers maximum possible lowering, customized to your vehicle model. You can also change this at any time after installation.
Adjustable rebound (low speed)
You'll notice the difference with every click! Here, you can adjust the low-speed rebound with 16 clicks. This adjusts the ride characteristics, making them either harder or more comfortable.
Adjustable compression damping (low speed)
You can fine-tune the low-speed compression damping even after installation. The vehicle's handling and stability will benefit from 12 clicks.
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.

Technical component reportFAQs about the BMW i5 with coilovers
Can I install a coilover suspension on the BMW i5 G60 without voiding the warranty?
It is generally possible to retrofit a KW V3 coilover kit without voiding the vehicle warranty. But this requires the installation to be carried out by a specialist workshop and for all components to have valid TÜV approval. We provide a parts certificate for the BMW i5 (G60E/M60) in accordance with §19(3) of the German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO).
Is the same level of comfort maintained when using a sporty coilover suspension in the BMW i5?
The KW V3 is engineered to deliver unparalleled comfort and performance. Its independently adjustable rebound and compression damping allows you to precisely fine-tune the ride to your personal preference – from smooth and compliant to sporty and responsive.
Does lowering with the coilover suspension affect the electric range of the BMW i5?
In fact, moderate lowering can slightly improve the aerodynamics of the BMW i5. The reduced air resistance results in a minimal decrease in energy consumption. This can have a positive effect on range. The effect is limited, but technically understandable.
What lowering is recommended for the BMW i5 G60E with coilover suspension?
The KW V3 is the ultimate solution for the BMW i5 (G60E) seeking unparalleled, infinitely variable lowering. This model allows for precise customization, with a range of 25 to 50 mm on the front axle and 25 to 45 mm on the rear axle. This ensures the vehicle is tuned to look sportier while maintaining optimal ground clearance for daily use.
