KW V3 Coilovers for E60 XI
I have a set of KW V3 coilovers I'm looking to part with as my plans for the car have changed. As I'm sure you all know these are the premiere suspension choice for the XI cars and are a top quality product. Retail on these is around 2800.
I purchased these used and was told they had only been in use for a couple months. They look pretty clean and I see no reason to believe otherwise. I never got around to installing them on my car so I can't personally comment on their performance.
Looking to get $1700 shipped within the continental US for these. If you're interested and need them shipped elsewhere shoot me a PM and I can calculate the shipping cost.

They are certainly not the same part number due to the rear air suspension, but this is such a good deal that I'd look a little harder...
Would the rears work simply without the springs installed?
Want to remove the air bags and disable to compressor/warning by coding?
If I didn't already have them, I'd take the chance, but it's worth investigating more if you're curious.

The E61 rear is totally different. I had the E60kit and wanted to use it on my E61 but you need different rear shocks all together. The shock length and valving is different on an E61 so the E60 shocks without the springs won't work. I went as far as pricing the rear shocks friends m KW and it didn't seem worth it.
Even at this price point it still isn't worth it.
You can get a new E61 with a warranty from Mod Bargin for around $2100

Is there some trick to get V3s for $2100 from mod bargain? They're listed at full retail price of 2899.99 for both the E60 and E61 on their site.
Even still I don't think purchasing my E60 set up is the right way to go for an E61 owner.
