@Forrest Lyric thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Forrest Lyric It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
@Oscar August no problem xD
A full review of the KW V3 on an incredible E46 M3.... yes please.
I see more people are interested in that kind of video.. I'm on it. Thinking of doing something really cool for this!

nicely done. looking forward to a detailed review on these cause i originally was dead set on getting the kw v2’s but eager to see if the v3 is the way to go. surprisingly there isn’t much e46 m vids with v3’s.
We thought about making a review, but now that at least one person wants a detailed review, I think the odds are higher haha.

Y.E.V.S BUILDS thats great to hear ! As popular as this car is, there isn’t that much quality content being made on the e46. love the vid btw
@@FIVECENTFISH We'll be doing our best to make the best content possible, because you're right, there isn't too much quality content. Thank you!!
I’m also looking forward to a review and more content!
@@Loopyspec Awesome! Glad to hear that. There is definitely a lot more content coming! Just keep waiting!
after watching this i feel like i can open a shop of coilovers installations. the video is clear and simple. the talking goes with the image no extra unecessary details added like many video the dude talks talks and talks and you lose the focus lol here everything is clear and simple.
Haha thank you! That's what I want when I watch videos so I'm glad i was able to make it right.
@@YEVSBUILDS i ordered the V2 last week cant wait to install them on my M3. not deep as yours but still good hehe
10:46 I think you're suppose to use the factory bottom washer as well, but seems like you left those on the old struts?
Leave the 3x13mms till last when removing the strut
Yes!!! I've learned that the hard way eventually haha
Aren't the top mounts supposed to be installed on the coilovers prior to putting them in the car?
Great job. Just one thing to note, is the rear shock reinforcement plate goes in the trunk, not under, in the wheel well.
Really appreciate you noting that. I didn't know there was a difference to be honest. Definitely will fix that asap.
-Eugene
@@YEVSBUILDS No problem! How do you like the ride? I made the mistake going with V1's because I didn't want to mess with the shock/strut adjustability. I'm now regretting that, and plan to upgrade shortly.
@@My_Fault I absolutely love it. No regrets getting these coils. Once you tweak the settings to your liking, the suspension feels amazing. I think I'll be making a review of these in the near future, after some more testing.
Its wierd that e46 KW V3 have external reservoirs. i have KW V3-s on my E89 Z4 35i and its kit does not have them. Other than that its very similar.
Rear damper has identical connections. My V3-s just had an issue...on rear damper that upper black rebound dial block just shattered to pieces on the highway and dampers upper part broke off.
Luckily you can get parts from KW and they sent me a new rebound dial assembly... just skrew old broken one off and new one on. Even got a pdf with illustrated instructions.
Still wierd that it shattered like that. That black block is a cast part therefore weaker and can fracture.
This part of the damper is identical on your kit but im sure my issue was a freak accident and not widely occuring.
Aren't you supposed to not use an impact on struts?
How much camber are you running? What ride height did you set it? How is comfort-handling compared to stock?
You need to do a full review on these!!
That's in the plans bro! Haha so many people want a review video, I just have to wait for better weather here to film it all but yes, I'm planning on it
Hey mate, about to install these on my M3. Quick question, are the front camber plates necessary? I have the front strut mount reinforcement plates from Garagistic, and that's about it. Trying to plan ahead as shipping to Canada takes forever. Thanks in advance!
No definitely not necessary. It's simply to add more adjustability to ones liking.
. Question. I had KW 3's installed in my 06 BMW 530Xit wagon.. I noticed on some big dips at highway speed I got a slight bang in the rear.. are the shocks tuned a little too soft?
I did ask for the car to be lowered but try to keep the most comfortable ride as possible..
Thanks!
Joe
Maybe. Try stiffening up the bump on them a little.
@@YEVSBUILDS TY.. I will
do your springs clunk when you turn your wheels?
Interesting you ask. I'm guessing its more common than I thought haha yes, but not on turns, but rather if I'm going up a driveway at an angle and not all the time either: just sometimes.
-Eugene
Mine have the slightest Clunk. Very very faint
Those aren't the OE strut mount nuts, they are extended like that because you have a strut bar which isn't stock. The stock nuts are flat flange nuts similar to the ones that came with the GC mounts.
Hey mate rear reinforcement plates you should put inside of the car not as front ones)
Appreciate you brotha. It's been fixed long ago haha
Привет. Что-то Дениса не видно?
What Size of spacers u running
I have 10mm in the rears and no spacers in the front. I'm running a square set-up
@@YEVSBUILDS nice are the front cambered ? Just I want this square setup and not sure what coilovers to get I’m lookingg go at 1k down budget what do u think ? And nice ride man I hope u keep up the good work !
@@jandro1601 You naturally get camber when you lower a car but I set mine to -1.5 degrees because of camber plates.
1k you can get some pretty decent or nicer but used ones if this will be your first set.
Are those stock OEM bmw style 67 wheels square 18x9's in a gunmetal finish ?
Coilovers on a car with one of the stiffest factory suspensions??Unless you plan on tracking your M3, this is an unnecessary upgrade
The suspension on the E46 M3 really isn't that stiff.. I've driven several cars (specifically Porsche's) from the same era that are quite a bit more stiff from factory.
One can tell Paul has never driven on coil overs in street setting. Try it before you buy it.
The V3 Coilovers are street bias and are actually very comfortable as we can set the Compression and Rebound and infact more comfortable than stock on many instances!!
Also the handling is miles ahead of the factory setup!!
@@mikeyap4159 hey mike 👋, are V3’s overkill for daily driven vehicles ?
@@Enzo-tg8uo it depends, if you are really keen driver yes especially being able to influence the compression with the V3, if not the STXA will be great which are essentially a KWV2
