The electronically adjustable KW DDC Plug & Play coilover kit is now available for the electric BMW i4 eDrive40 (G26) Gran Coupe with optional adaptive M suspension. After the stainless-steel KW DDC coilovers are installed and the plugs are connected, adjustments to the headlight range and rear axle heights need to be made. The electronic BMW system recognizes the DDC dampers immediately and adjusts the setup to the respective driving situation. The KW DDC Plug & Play coilovers for the BMW i4 eDrive40 (G26) are based on the same technology that KW uses in the original equipment for the Rimac Nevera electric hypercars. At the front axle, the continuous lowering can be adjusted between 20 – 40 millimeters and 15 – 35 millimeters at the rear axle. More at www.kwsuspensions.net<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug and Play: Easy installation just like every KW DDC coilover suspension kit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common chassis control systems in the automotive industry recognize the KW DDC valves. The variety of driving modes of the respective car manufacturer are retained and compatible with the KW DDC Plug & Play coilover kit. In the BMW i4 eDrive40 Gran Coupe, the stainless-steel coilover suspension kit replaces the optional adaptive M shocks. Controlling and adjusting of the KW DDC dampers are handled entirely by BMW\u2019s standard electronics. Within milliseconds the electromagnetic valves react to the respective control inputs from the standard sensor system. Installing the KW DDC Plug & Play coilover suspension is like retrofitting the OEM shocks. \u201cThe BMW damper control system does not have to be deactivated, as it is the case when installing conventional sports suspension kits\u201d explains Florian Johann of the KW Brand Management team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe various KW DDC Plug & Play coilovers always feature plugs compatible with the OEM system. Tweaking or modifying the BMW suspension control software is not necessary because the DDC valves are tailor-made for the BMW system.\u201d The various driving modes of the electric-powered BMW are still selected from the cockpit. In Comfort Mode, the adaptive KW DDC suspension absorbs road irregularities without the BMW i4 eDrive40 (G26) Gran Coupe losing any cornering stability. Thanks to the KW DDC struts on the front axle, the handling of the 340 hp electric car is improved \u2013 even for a heavy car with more than 2,2 tons of weight. Roll comfort is also maintained in the other modes of the semi-active suspension. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is more comfortable on undulating roads than the conventional i4 standard suspension without adaptive dampers,\u201d Florian Johann continues, \u201cIn Sport Mode, the electric car characterizes itself with its typical BMW sports car feature and is still comfortable on long rides.\u201d The only thing that needs to be adjusted manually in the KW DDC Plug & Play coilover suspension is the ride height during suspension installation. When retrofitting the DDC coilover suspension, the lowering is adjustable between 20 to 40 millimeters on the front axle, and on the rear from 15 to 35 millimeters via a KW link rod. The adaptive optional M air suspension system on the drive-axle remains on board when converting to the KW DDC Plug & Play coilover suspension in the BMW i4 eDrive40 (G26) Gran Coupe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
