BMW 3 Series (E21) with Coilover Suspensio

The BMW 3 Series (E21) marked the beginning of a new era for BMW and is now considered a true classic with a sporty character. Produced between 1975 and 1983, the vehicle impressed with its timeless design, rear-wheel drive, and agile handling that delivered pure driving pleasure. The E21 remains especially popular among enthusiasts thanks to its lightweight construction and traditional suspension setup. A modern coilover suspension takes this driving experience to the next level – tailored precisely to your personal preferences. With continuously adjustable lowering, you can fine-tune the vehicle height to match your desired stance and handling characteristics. Compared to a standard sport suspension, a height-adjustable performance suspension offers far greater flexibility – both visually and in terms of driving dynamics. While a fixed-lowering sport suspension only offers one setting, a coilover system allows you to strike the ideal balance between daily usability and sporty performance. Especially on a classic like the E21, the result is significantly improved handling precision and enhanced driving fun – whether you're on winding country roads or tackling tight corners.

H2 BMW 3 Series (E21) with KW Classic Line V3 Coilover SuspensionEnglisch

The KW Classic Line V3 coilover suspension brings modern suspension technology to the legendary BMW 3 Series (E21), giving this 70s and 80s icon a noticeable performance upgrade. With a continuously adjustable lowering range of 35 to 65 mm at the front and rear axles, you can precisely adapt the vehicle height to your driving style and visual preferences. This is especially valuable for older models like the E21, as this height-adjustable performance suspension blends classic driving feel with sharper steering response and improved dynamics. A standout feature of this system is the independent adjustability of rebound and compression damping, allowing you to fine-tune the shock absorber behavior – whether you're after a sportier setup or a more balanced ride for everyday driving. Compared to basic sport suspensions, the V3 offers a much wider range of adjustment and driving quality. The galvanized steel housing ensures long-lasting durability – even under challenging conditions. KW specifically develops these suspension kits for classic car enthusiasts, creating a perfect synergy between OEM aesthetics and cutting-edge performance technology
