KW V3+ installed on my m235i

So it seems like the KWs from the F30 carries over to the F22. I got the V3+ with EDC that can be used with the original BMW dampening system. Even though the original had to be cut then spliced, but the computer didn't throw any error.

Ride was very comfortable still, and even with my rears on the lowest setting, I had no problems going over bumps or into driveways.

Car has Forgestar CF5v 19x8.5 wheels all around with 5mm spacer in front.

See my wheels thread here: http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1005117








Here's the EDC delete which you splice to the original and hide it behind the wheel liner.





And here's the stance of the car:




As you can see.. there are still plenty of room in both front and rear even though the rear is already on the lowest setting. My comfort setting is medium and is already very comfortable compared to my ST Coilovers on my e92.

Cool 235i, how does the DCC work compared to the OEM.

I actually can't even tell a difference compare to OEM's DDC. I can feel my suspension are a bit more stiff but I think that's just the KW suspensions. I do feel it turns a bit better but I'm wondering if that has to do with the fact the car's closer to the ground.

@cbbplanet
What are KW V3+ with DDC?!?

You bought the KW Variant 3 with the DCC "dongle".

Our adaptive KW coilover kit is called KW DDC plug&play. Is there an chance to publish one of your pictures at our official KW Facebook Pages?

wish they made a plug-n-play adapter, not comfortable splicing into OEM wiring

Sad that you're maxed out.. Even though I'd only go millimeters lower than you, i would still like the option to go lower with coilovers.

Yep that's correct. All work done through Long, including wheels and downpipes. More to come in a month.

My wheels are 19x8.5 in rear. Most run 19x9.5 and more aggressive offset. if you do that, you'll most likely rub already.
