XDrive Coilover CKS vs. KW V3

I know there's only two model that exists for the XDrive model. Can tell from an experience of ownership which brand you would prefer and reason why? I know this has been discussed before but there isn't long-term milage update after the installation.

Thank you

The comfort knowing your shocks and coils were designed and engineered together to give you that Ultimate BMW driving experience is why coilovers are the way to go. Post your builds guys when either of you get these on!
