Cal, do they have anything for a '11 550i Msport with EDC and ARS? I know they have a kit for cars with EDC (electronic dampening) and they just include a delete kit, but I haven't heard back from anyone about the ARS (active roll stabilization).

Unfortunately at this time KW has no plans to develop/release a kit for X-Drive equipped F10s, this is from KW NA Direct.
There is an alternative readily available from CKS. Please PM me for more info. |

wow ! What happened to the so-called "ongoing testing and should be finalizing the production details" as replied by KW NA back in January 2012.
I have been following their V3 for the xdrive since spring of 2011 and it has been over a year now and to hear this is a disappointment. |

I simply don't understand this. They already make V3 for the RWD F10, I was told a year ago by the same people that due to xdrive slightly heavier weight, the engineers need to tweak the setting a bit to get the optimal balance. What's even odd is that they have been at this for well over a year since I began sending questions to KW NA.
If they can make a product from exotics super sportscar to a VW Golf, I am simply blown away that they cannot even make one for an AWD bimmer. |

Damn,
the xdrive owners are being shortchanged again (simply having to wait for 2years+ to get a coilovers xdrive version)! The same goes for ecu tune as well (I know Dinan has a tune for N63 but I am not crazy enough to spend $4000 for it, for that $, I rather spend on suspension & wheels .. better yet, save that towards my next car) btw, thanks for all the research with your suppliers. |

Just got words back directly from KW in Germany (in regards to their V3 for xdrive) as I was requesting the reason for discontinuing their testing & production for the said V3.
"The 4WD (xDrive) car has a different front axle than the 2WD, that’s why it doesn’t fit the car. Lastly, there is not enough interest in the present time to build a coilover for the xDrive." |
