... sorry AFAIK KW v3 is the only coil overs option for the xi/awd model at the moment ... or over the past at least 4 yrs.

Maybe it's a tad bit confusing when I said only ... pretty much no other option.
But hey what do I know ... I just started modding my xi 6 years ago ... find out & let us know ... GL!

CKS Coilover work as well for the XI and are a great option. I would talk to Trinity Autosport as they carry them.

When I emailed CKS direct I got this reply.

Hi Robert
Unfortunately we don't, we have a tough time finding an xi here in Southern California to take a look at the suspension, otherwise we would love to develop something for your car...

best regards

I guess this reiterates BlaSTiWi comment on how only KW v3 is an option for XI models

that is correct, currently KW V3s are the only coilovers available for the XI e60 models.
