Hmmm....I don't know any girl that says "Me and a buddy....." as in the first post.

Anyway...does anybody know if you can get the Street Comfort ride from the V2 or V3? I'm just worried that the Street Comfort's springs might be too soft because sometimes I carry passengers in the back seat. I would like the Street Comfort ride when I'm by myself and make the suspension stiffer to compensate for passengers.

Member Seipäänreikä has a KW V3 in his E61 and it runs smooth. However, the rear is equipped with air suspension.

Wow. I forgot about this thread. I have over 20,000 miles on the kit now. The kit is still working flawlessly.

I load the car down with show gear and passengers. I haven't had any issues yet. I do not have the lowering height set very low because of my wheels. I didn't want to roll my fenders.
