Ok I was surfing on German KW site and decided to share some info here.
I remember that someone deplored a time ago how there's no KW Variant 3 set available for normal E60, only M5. But this is not correct. And V3 is available for X models too!

Here you can compare and see the differents:

- Street Comfort:
  • Lowering F:20-45mm / R:20-40mm
  • MAXIMUM DRIVING COMFORT!
  • Adjustable rebound damping
- Variant 2:
  • Lowering F:25-55mm / R:25-55mm
  • Infinitely adjustable rebound damping
- Variant 3:
  • Lowering F:25-55mm / R:25-55mm (For X models; F:20-50mm / R:25-55mm)
  • Infinitely adjustable rebound damping
  • 14-level adjustable compression damping
  • Unique, independently functioning damping power adjustment
Edit: I think these lowering measures are compared to a non-sport car. Please correct if I'm wrong...

You can find this all here by yourself:
- Street Comfort
- Variant 2
- Variant 3

And more exact info:
KW Coilovers for E60
You can find T?V documents + installation instructions from here too.

Maybe you all were already aware of these things, just wanted to collect some info !

This is a great resource, thank you for putting it together! I just took delivery of a set of V2s for my 135 and can't wait to start playing with them

I had the Variant 3's on my E46, were awesome both on track and on the road, even the wife did not complain after coming from stock worn out SE "OEM" suspension, yes you do get the bobble bounce on some roads, yes the occasional bump does transmit into the cabin, but its all well controlled and not harsh, this was combined with a full polly bush kit from front to rear, so as harsh as its likely ever to be.

I would personaly say the Street Comfort kit or Variant 2 kit would be more suiting to the style of the E60 unless you deterimind to have a racey feeling car - all just IMHO having had the V3's
