Anyone interested in KW V3 for F48?

Hello All,
I am planning to put KW V3 on my sdrive 20i; but KW seems have no schedule yet to launch V3 for F48. Just curious if there is anyone waiting for KW Coilover as well.

The F48 shares a lot of suspension parts with the F54 MINI Clubman. Maybe F54 coilovers will work?

NOTE: I take no responsibility if you damage your vehicle or injure yourself in anyway by fitting coilovers meant for a different car.

I wrote email to KW, and they replied they will have V3 for f48 but without a schedule.
You got an interesting idea, but i don't think the coilover for f54 can fit on f48...
However, just curious, if anyone is also waiting for KW V3, and maybe I can push the KW to launch the V3 for f48 if there are A LOT of f48 owners are waiting for that.

That looks badass man, very nice blacking out all the silver and chrome pieces too. What was the price on the KWs if you don't mind me asking?

Ninja Edit: I love the way the turning signals as parking lights look, might try to code that in on mine. You know you can code it so the fogs go on with the parking lights right?

KW V3 cost me about USD2,650 with labor cost and wheel aligement...etc.
2yrs warranty, so I think it is worth to the price.

The turning signal light is just on when I press the shutter. Coincident, huh. But I do code it to LED mode and mine tuning signal light/brake light are changed to LED bulb.

Oh okay, about what I figured. KWs are a bit pricey but good quality. Yeah, the turning light to stay on as a parking light comes factory like that in your part of the world. Here it doesn't, they strictly function as turning signals in the US. I would like to code mine to be the same as yours, a buddy of mine also did LED in most of the operating lights and looks much better. Just had to code out the error checks, ill probably do it in the future. Great mods on the car though man, looks awesome. Do you have anything under the hood? Tuning box or performance modifications?
