But I'm considering trade mine in for the X5 in a month or 2. Will return mine back to stock. Xi's KW V3? Anyone? let me know.
Did you have them on your car? How long were they on your car for?

Yes, they are still on my car. Got them off a member on this forum and installed August 2014. He said he had them for about 20k, plus mine another 10k or less. Had the H&R springs prior. And I'm telling you, they are worth every pennies and more, both look and performance.

My Ride: 2006 BMW 525ix (N52 Engine)
Default

I got a 2006 525xi. I've been running H&Rs since August of this year (2015).

Long story short:
-Yes---ride quality got worse
-It is more of a bouncy ride
-I might get coilovers down the road...if I can afford them
-I am currently still on the OEM shocks, which I found out to be almost worn out when putting springs on, car currently has 108.5k miles (I had the car since 97.5K miles)
-I am on 19 inch wheels, staggered, with fatter tires then most lowered cars
-I rub on bigger bumps
-I probably need an alignment
-I do miss the stock ride comfort etc, but there is always something for something. Still glides on the highway no problem

Here are some of the pictures of it being lowered:

Thank you for your review, I'm still pleased with mine but we'll see after a few months. Your car looks good

My Ride: 2011 BMW 523i
Smile Help

Hi my friends
I need your help urgently 😥
I'd like to buy a 523i 2011
But I am not sure about the engine power
And what is the difference between the 523i engine
And the 528i engine
And what is the engine displacement ? Is it 3.0 or 2.5
Thanks😍

Hello there, I'm interested in your KW if you still have them?
