F87 M2 Coilovers to Unleash Full Potential in Your BMW
As the sportiest variants of the BMW 2 Series, the BMW M2 Competition (F87) and BMW M2 Clubsport (F87) let you experience the pure M feeling. Thanks to its compact dimensions, powerful six-cylinder engine, and rear-wheel drive, the driver enjoys sporty performance and uncompromising agility. The suspension plays a central role, especially in vehicles that focus heavily on driving dynamics and directness. With F87 coilovers from KW suspensions, your car gets a stepless lowering, precise damper tuning, and a significantly more harmonious balance of control, grip, and residual comfort.
A comparison of the stock and KW suspensions
BMW M2 F87 Coilovers in Detail
The factory suspension
The BMW M2 (F87) is very direct and agile straight from the factory, with a focus on maximum driving pleasure. The significantly shorter wheelbase than the M3 or M4, the wider track, and the active M differential ensure high traction and a lively rear end. The car responds immediately to steering and acceleration, providing an intense driving experience. Nevertheless, the standard suspension is very stiff. Transverse joints and short bumps are clearly noticeable in the interior. The CS in particular requires a clean, practiced driving style and is less forgiving of poor road conditions.
Our KW product
Thanks to separately adjustable rebound and compression, the KW V3 in the F87 smoothly absorbs bumps in the road without the body losing control. In addition, the KW V3 coilover suspension ensures that the weight of the vehicle and your driving style are in perfect harmony. The front axle now steers even more precisely, while the rear remains stable during acceleration. Overall, the M2 drives more smoothly and with greater control, without losing any of its sporty character. Ideal for all drivers who use their F87 regularly in everyday life but don't want to compromise on driving dynamics. Stepless, adjustable lowering included. Only available for BMW M2 F87.
