I run KW V3's on my E92 335. I run BC's on my other car, an Infiniti FX. I know they are different platforms, but KW's are in another league compared to BC. IMO, progressive springs are better on street cars. You get better small bump response and the progressive rate helps keep you from blowing through the travel. And the damping on KW's is much better than BC.

I think the BC is actually a good coil over, especially for the price. But the shocks aren't great and the damping adjustments don't do much. The ones on my FX are 32 way adjustable, but it's sort of pointless. And the spring rates BC uses are pretty soft. I blew through the travel a lot on my FX. So I went to higher rate springs which helped with not bottoming. The downside is that now the ride is harsher, you feel everything. The BC's basically feel like the shocks aren't matched to the springs, they felt this way even with the standard rate springs that BC picks.

Upside of BC is they're cheaper and they come with camber plates.
