KW CoilOver set: How long do they last?

Hi everyone
I put on new set V3 in 2019. Since then have added maybe 25000 miles to the car. NEVER tracked, never driven rough, slow acceleration off traffic lights..basically babied..
What is the normal if any, change interval for coilovers?
thanks in advance

They have a lifetime warranty.

Probably should reach out to KW or your closest KW service shop for service intervals. Interested to know if you need to follow it to retain your warranty.

you do need to rebuild and perhaps re-valve shocks after a while but with regular usage that would be a very long service period so it's likely not relevant.

Just like the stock ones, they will most likely outlast the car.

The stock ones definitely would not last the lifetime of the car. I had a F80 M3 before and the stock shocks' dampening on them were pretty much dead by the time I changed them out at 90000kms.

I feel like with high-end coilovers KW and Bilstein, they last much longer than stock ones and would be around the 200k kms mark for change.
