Anyone have any update on whether or not KW actually released a coilover set for the F10 Xdrive? I keep seeing posts about these claims but can't seem to find it on their website.

BMW F10 suspension 2014 535D M sport

Hey all I am looking to replace my shocks and springs on my 2014 F10 xdrive. I saw a few available on eBay and wondered if anyone has used them. Maxx and REV 9 are the brands. Any help is appreciated

Never heard of them, caveat emptor.

Good luck.

I've read a bunch of promising info on Silvers Neomax coilovers, which are significantly less spendy than KWs, and I'm considering these for my new-to-me XDrive F10. Thic Garage did an install review on YT.

I would be very wary of EBay coilovers for which there are no reviews.

This. I'd stay away from eBay coilovers since there's close to no customer support. Silvers CS has been fantastic, they always responded to me in under 24 hours and have always patiently answered my long string of questions lol. Heck, when I lost the adjustment knobs for the front coils, they sent me a new pair for free.

I've since moved to KW v3's (SO's TMJ inflammation couldn't handle the Silvers) and I'm still waiting on KW to get back to me 72 hours later for a simple question

I too have found KWs alleged customer support to be slow and curt to the point of rude. Great product though.

Good luck.

Other than the lack of CS, how do you find the KW V3 in comparison to the Neomax so far? Do you plan to do a review/write up?

It's a bit apples to oranges. Neomax are linear springs, but V3's are progressive. I would save that the V3's are definitely more forgiving on rough roads, but the Neomax feels more planted when you're on good roads. It all depends on what you're looking for.

I enjoy the V3's more at the moment because my SO doesn't hate my car anymore
