KW Coilover Kit Variant 3 (V3) 2-Way Adjustable – BMW X5 M / X6 M (F85 / F86)

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 X5 M and X6 M run factory adaptive dampers as standard, so KW's kit for this platform is the Bundle configuration only — it always ships with the ESC/EDC cancellation module needed to delete the factory electronics cleanly.

This listing covers the F85 X5 M and F86 X6 M specifically. For the standard (non-M) F15 X5 / F16 X6, see our separate listing — KW publishes a different, non-Bundle part number for those.

TECH RESOURCES

Additional Parts Required

• No separate ESC/EDC cancellation module purchase is needed — 352200AM already includes it.
• 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 (352200AM): PDF.
• Setup manual (352200AM): PDF.
• In brief: the factory struts come out and the coilover replaces them; the ESC module plugs into the OE damper connectors; set ride height inside KW's published range, then corner-balance and align.

Notes

• Price is for the item selected only; labor is not included.

PART NUMBER

• 352200AM — V3 Bundle, BMW X5 M F85 / X6 M F86 with EDC
