BMW M5 G90 coilover suspension: Performance & lowering with KW suspensions
With the KW coilover suspension for the BMW M5 G90, you can do justice to your vehicle's performance. Discover the KW V4 coilover suspension with individual damper setup or our height-adjustable coilover springs to lower your BMW M5 G90. If you opt for coilover springs, you can keep the standard dampers on your car. The KW V4 suspension for the BMW M5 G90 allows you to customize the damping, even at high speeds.
The factory suspension
Due to its high weight of 2,435 kilograms, some driving situations can be challenging. Especially at high speeds or fast cornering, the BMW M5 G90 can only be controlled with sufficient skill. In addition, drivers repeatedly report overly aggressive steering behavior.
Our KW product
With KW, you get back your driving safety. The KW V4 offers a sporty driving experience despite the high weight of the G90. Enjoy the balancing effect of our suspension. We offer you maximum performance with the best control of the vehicle. In addition, the steering behavior in the M5 G90 is smoother thanks to the KW V4.

The G90 Setup in Detail: Dynamic Management for 2.4 Tons
The BMW M5 G90 is technologically highly complex piece of technology due to its plug-in hybrid powertrain. This places special demands on the suspension. Altough a the deeply mounted battery ensures a low center of gravity, the enormous mass of 2,435 kg exerts a significant outward force during rapid changes in direction.
This is where the technological advantages of our KW V4 coilover suspension come into play:
Controlling inertia: The KW V4’s specialized valves prevent the rear end from diving during hard braking maneuvers and stabilize the rear
Synergy with all-wheel steering: The setup was developed to harmonize perfectly with the standard rear-axle steering. Our KW technology ensures the necessary body stability to eliminate understeer at the very onset
V4 technology vs. system weight: The adjustable rebound and compression damping allows for such fine-tuning that the heavy weight is almost “damped away” on the racetrack, while the M5 retains its superior ride comfort on the highway
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 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.
Adjustable compression damping (Highspeed)
You can fine-tune the high-speed compression damping even after installation. Up to 15 clicks allow you to adjust vehicle handling and stability.
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.
Additional technologies
What is the heaviest BMW M5 of all time?
The BMW M5 G90 is the heaviest M5 ever produced. Weighing in at 2,435 kilograms, it is 1,000 kg heavier than the first BMW M5 (E28). You really feel this difference when braking and in fast corners. Our KW V4 coilover suspension is specifically designed to control this enormous kinetic energy without sacrificing the comfort of the plug-in hybrid.
What type of drive does the M5 G90 have?
The BMW M5 G90 is the first M5 as a plug-in hybrid. It has an electric range of just under 70 kilometers. Accordingly, the vehicle has an additional electric motor combined with a 4.4 liter V8 biturbo. This is the first time in almost 40 years that an M5 is not a pure combustion engine.
How do the damping characteristics of the KW V4 differ specifically due to the BMW M5 G90’s heavy weight?
The KW V4 tames the M5 G90’s 2.4-ton curb weight through separate low- and high-speed compression. While the stock suspension struggles with load changes, our multi-valve technology specifically suppresses body roll. As a result, the heavy hybrid gains significantly in agility and precision without sacrificing ride comfort.
What is the standard all-wheel steering?
For the first time, the M5 G90 has rear-axle steering wheels (Integral Active Steering) as standard. These ensure greater stability and agility - a must for this heavy vehicle. It also makes the car easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces and improves handling.
