Awesome ride, great write up!

Do you have Dynamic Drive on your F10?

Great review of the KW coilovers thanks for sharing with the community. The car definitely looks a whole lot better and I'm sure you're enjoying the new handling characteristics as well!

Hello,
This is my first time on one of these sites so hopefully im posting in the correct way.

I am based in Thailand and have just purchased a 525D 2012 model.

Getting information is very hard over here so im wondering if it is possible to fit the above mentioned V3 kit to my car which has the BMW active steering.

Thank you for you help

I have e60 with active steering that works with v3. You should check with your kw distributor though...

I have looked on the K&W web site and it mentions that the kit is not to be used with active steering, but then again it could just be a legal safeguard.

How do you find the setup and would you recommend it?

Cheers

I like my v3. More adjustability range even for daily drive i.e. I can have stock comfort level when i want to and track setup when i need to.
About active steering, again pls check with your distributor or other members here who have installed it on f10.
