I'd like to hear frpm people who have switched from the standard suspension to the KW Variant 3.

Not used V3 personally but the ride quality is not too dissimilar to the standard CSL setup AFAIK with the additional feature of being able to lower the car and adjust bump/rebound settings for track.
Most track day goers tend to switch to the Clubsport variant if planning to track fairly regularly as it has a stiffer spring rate setup with replacement topmounts for additional front camber on track in addition to the features above for the V3.
I use Clubsport and find them fine on road when you dial some softness in.

I had V3 on my e36 and they are fine when you set them soft. The CSL is pretty harsh as standard, the KW's certainly aren't much harsher if that's your conern.
KW are great shocks, I got a lot of road and track miles out of mine and they were still perfect when i sold the car
