BMW 1 Series (F40) with Coilover Suspension

The BMW 1 Series F40, launched in 2019, marks the third generation of this successful compact class and, for the first time, features front-wheel or all-wheel drive. With modern engine options, optional xDrive, and a sharply styled design, the F40 provides a solid foundation for dynamic tuning. Especially in combination with a coilover suspension, not only can the look be enhanced through precise lowering, but handling performance is also significantly improved. Compared to a conventional sport suspension, the height-adjustable performance suspension stands out with its stepless adjustment of vehicle height – ideal for individually tuning the setup to your needs. While a sport suspension usually offers fixed lowering, a coilover system allows you to flexibly adjust, for example, between 30 and 50 mm at the front axle. This gives you maximum control over your BMW 1 Series’ road stance without compromising everyday usability. Particularly in the F40, with its direct steering and sporty factory setup, high-quality coilover suspensions unleash their full potential.

BMW 1 Series (F40) F1H with ST XA Coilover Suspension

The ST XA coilover suspension brings sporty dynamics and precise handling to your BMW 1 Series F40. With a generous lowering range of 35–55 mm at the front axle and 30–50 mm at the rear, the vehicle height can be continuously and precisely adjusted to your preferences. Especially in the agile 1 Series F40 – a compact-class vehicle with a sporty factory setup – this height-adjustable performance suspension shows its strengths, particularly on winding country roads and at higher speeds on the highway. The individual adjustment of rebound damping allows fine-tuning of the ride characteristics to match your driving style and road conditions. Made from galvanized steel, the ST XA stands for performance and durability. Compared to a fixed-lowering sport suspension, the ST XA offers maximum flexibility when setting up your vehicle. This results in noticeably more direct handling and a sportier appearance – without sacrificing daily usability.

BMW 1 Series (F40) F1H with KW V3 Coilover Suspension

The KW V3 coilover suspension extracts maximum performance from your BMW 1 Series (F40) F1H. The stepless lowering of 35–55 mm at the front and 30–50 mm at the rear provides a much sportier appearance as well as significantly improved handling precision. Thanks to separately adjustable rebound and compression damping, the height-adjustable performance suspension can be fine-tuned to your specific driving preferences and road conditions – ideal for performance-oriented drivers who refuse to compromise. Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, the KW V3 guarantees long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance. Compared to a fixed-lowering sport suspension, the V3 offers unmatched flexibility and technical refinement: while a standard sport suspension only allows one preset height, the KW V3 lets you adjust both the vehicle height and damper characteristics freely.
