Chassis: For the BMW M2 as desired
TUNING For the second edition of the BMW M2, suspension manufacturer KW Automotive has launched a wide-ranging coilover suspension delivery program for the racetrack and the road. There are tailor-made solutions.
For the BMW M2, suspension manufacturer KW Automotive offers no less than four coilovers. From the dual-adjustable V3 coilover suspension to the triple-adjustable V4 version for the road and the race track-optimized V4 Clubsport and V5 Clubsport versions with motorsport components from GT4 customer racing as well as solid piston damper technology from the DTM.
All coilovers have a parts certificate and allow stepless lowering by up to 35 millimeters. The BBS flow-forming wheel set measures 10 x 20 inches on the front axle and 11 x 21 inches on the drive axle.
Dynamics for road and track
With the KW V3 and the KW V4 from the Street Performance category, KW makes all BMW M enthusiasts a dynamic driving offer that unleashes the new M2 series G87 on the road. While the KW V3 is adjustable in the Lowspeed compression stage and Lowspeed rebound stage, the KW V4 allows, as in the M4 GTS, to tune the forces in the Highspeed and Lowspeed compression stage and Highspeed rebound stage.
KW has extensively revised the V4 Club Sport coilover suspension for the BMW M trackday community. A new feature is that the wheel-guiding MacPherson front-axle struts are manufactured in an upside-down design with a 40-mm plain-bearing damper cartridge.
Wheel camber personally adjustable
A fixed component of the KW Club Sport suspension for the M2 are the unibal bearing aluminum support mounts for both axles. These are adjustable in camber on the front axle. The V4 Clubsport costs 8185 francs, the V5 Clubsport 11570 francs.
Says Florian Johann of KW: "We recommend the Clubsport applications to anyone who regularly drives on racetracks with semislicks and wants to counteract the high wear on the M2 front axle caused by the rapid succession of chicanes and the higher cornering speeds as well as the extreme lateral guidance forces."
