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 G05 X5 and G06 X6. Factory valving is a single fixed compromise and the ride height is whatever the vehicle left the line at. The V3 replaces the whole strut with a rebuildable, height-adjustable, damping-adjustable unit.
This listing covers the G05 X5 and G06 X6 with 352200CQ, KW's V3 kit for this chassis.

Additional Parts Required
- 352200CQ is not for vehicles with rear air suspension or adaptive dampers unless a cancellation module is added separately — confirm your build with us before ordering.
- 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.
Installation
- Installation instructions (352200CQ): PDF.
- Setup manual (352200CQ): PDF.
- In brief: full strut-out replacement front and rear, ride height set inside KW's published range, then corner-balance and alignment.
Notes
- Confirm your X5/X6's adaptive-damper or air-suspension equipment with us before ordering — this part number is for standard steel-spring cars only.
- Price is for the item selected only; labor is not included.
- KW's own fitment chart for 352200CQ lists additional X5 (G05) trims not previously shown here — xDrive50i (2019–2020), xDrive45e PHEV (2021–2023), xDrive50e PHEV (2024+), and M60i (2024+) — now added below.
