Looking forward to getting these on the vehicle. Install scheduled for Monday. Ohlins Road & Track DFV coilovers. Should be a very noticeable improvement, and ratchet up the fun factor. Cheers, John ...

I am keeping my 14-year old RS4 for the same reason. It rides on KW V3 coilovers.

And I have heard many good things about the KW V3 coilovers, also a popular suspension for the E9X M3.

Is yours a manual or DCT? Old Picture ...  

Beautiful machine. I have a 2006 E55 AMG. It's automatic, not manual (almost all AMGs for USA market are automatics). While it's not a perfect machine; steering ratio is slow (I prefer a faster ratio so less turning the wheel), steering feel is lacking, b... 

It's one way to differentiate the dinosaur from our cars.

I feel like I should be referring to 30 or 50 years ago using that terminology, even if the E9X M3 platform was retired only in 2013. But it is accurate. Very few naturally aspirated high performance cars being made now, the GT3 being one of the few remai... 

Unless Ted makes me trade it in for a Subaru...😂 ...  

Torque at any RPM, gear selector goes where you point it without hesitation, sounds like a million bucks and the KW does a lot of magic to the car. Just an all-around versatile performer whereas the GT3 requires a lot more concentration for every move you... 

I have the same feeling comparing newer, faster cars versus older but more engaging slower cars.

Great seat and great brakes. The steering wasn't bad at all, but not as good as the E92 steering. Very competent car, fairly comfortable too, just doesn't feel as "exciting" nor "raw" as an M car should.

The S85 is a very charming engine, especially with the DCT transmission. I assume you're going to eventually change out your rod bearings? The steering on the E92 M3 (I haven't driven the 4 door as much as I've driven the 2 door) is amongst the best steer... 

Yep, rod bearings fully fixed a few years ago. Plan to keep it for the long haul. A practical family sedan 😀

Ten years from now, I'll still like the E9X M3. As it's still a very emotional car. Likely the last of the emotional M3s.

As good as electric cars are, I just love the sound of a mighty 8/10/12 cylinder car starting up.

A great ride quality and handling especially on R-compound tires.

regarding price, I think we purist are the most expert about price vs value correlation. ROTFL

Back in 2014 i put KW V1 on the Clio, not bad but from the start i felt they weren’t a lot (if at all) better than the satndard setup. Anyway, congrats ! And don’t forget to do a separate post once they are fitted ! Bim

These should give you lots of JOY 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
