M240i XDrive with KW V3 and 12/15mm spacers

tyong · 10-19-2023, 11:41 AM

I've had it on for a week now, and I've already covered around 300km with the new suspension mods. I'm really pleased with the results, it feels comfortable not too stiff and gives me more confidence.

It's perfect! The gap between the tires and the arches are enough, the spacers you added give your car the correct stance ... I'm fan

Edit: did you have active or normal suspension?

Nice setup, how easy is it to get aftermarket parts in Bangkok? For things like Suspension, Downpipes, Tuning..etc? Is it hard to find parts at a good price? do you have to pay more? Is it in shops or do you have to import it yourself?

Cheers.

Thanks a lot! Mine has the adaptive M suspension. I had to use the special equipment provided by KW to fool the system. But now, when I switch the driving mode, the suspension doesn't adjust.

Thanks. It's incredibly easy to find aftermarket parts here in Bangkok. Many modification shops have the whole area covered. Prices seem to be pretty consistent. I've checked with three shops regarding the KW V3, and they all quoted the same price. With the import tax around 30%, I'll have to shell out a bit more.

I added the adaptive M suspension too to the options list.
Do you miss it or not?

The drivetrain and steering wheel still work perfectly in my car. It's just the suspension that doesn't auto-adjust, but I can still manually tweak the bump and rebound settings. To be honest, in response to your question, I can say that no, I don't miss the adaptive M suspension.
