OVERVIEW
The Variant 3 is KW's two-way adjustable coilover and the one most people actually want. Compression and rebound are on separate adjusters, so you can firm up body control without also killing rebound compliance, and ride height is continuously adjustable across the kit's range. It is the sensible step up from a spring-only kit and a large step up from the factory strut.
The stock damper is the limiting part on the X3 M / X4 M. Factory valving is a single fixed compromise and the ride height is whatever the car left the line at. The V3 replaces the whole strut with a rebuildable, height-adjustable, damping-adjustable unit.
This listing covers the F97 X3 M and F98 X4 M with 352200DE, KW's V3 Bundle for this chassis, which ships with the KW ESC/EDC cancellation module for the factory adaptive dampers.

Additional Parts Required
- 352200DE is a Bundle kit and already includes the ESC/EDC cancellation module; no separate module purchase is needed.
- A corner-balance and a full four-wheel alignment are required after installation, and matter even more on an AWD SUV. Budget for both before the vehicle is driven.

- In brief: full strut-out replacement front and rear, the ESC module plugged into the OE damper connectors, ride height set inside KW's published range, then corner-balance and alignment.
