Missing KW V3 coilover part, please help identify

Hi,

I recently purchased a used set of KW's V3. Based on PAL's recent photo of his V3s for sale, I'm able to identify the part I am missing finally. Indicated by the arrow, its what rests on top of the spring. Does anyone know if this is a stock BMW Z4MC suspension part or was it included with the KW coilovers? Can anyone tell me the part #?

The top spring perch or spring pad? Both are oem parts to swap over from your stock suspension.

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking for both those pieces.

I had one person tell me that it came with their set!

Does any one know the part #?

Any chance a Coupe is different than a roadster? Canadian vs US???

KW says its a factory part, but my Canadian M Coupe does not have that part.

That spring perch came with the V3s I bought and the front coilover was pre-assembled from KW. Why don't you call KW NA in California and buy a V3 perch from them?

From billswebspace.com, here is a pic of the stock mount - its quite different though what matters is the perch and the thickness of the V3 shaft vs stock.
