2006 e90 330xi sitting at 128,000 miles. Well maintained and runs well but had a shock blow on me so I'm looking to put KW V1s on for shiggles.

best case scenario or worst, Is there anything I will need for the install besides the coilovers? e.g. does anyone think i will be needing camber plates or bushings etc.??

Thanks in advance for any advice aside from the obvious that the car is getting a bit old to put money into :P

I'd check out the control arms and bushings. If they're original at 128k I would guess they would be due to be replaced. After time they get worn and the handling will suffer.

You'll love the KW V1's!

id replace the upper and lower control arms and check your cv boots as well.

As stated above, check all control arms and their bushings. If anything looks worn, replace it. In pairs.

Other things you should consider swapping are strut mounts, maybe e36m/z4 bumpstops since you're xi.
