BC Racing Adjustable Coilover Kit – BMW M3 (E90/E92/E93) 2007–2013
(Sedan / Coupe / Convertible – True Coilover Rear)
A high-quality and versatile suspension solution for the BMW M3 – an excellent choice for both street driving and more active hobby use.
BC Racing is one of the most renowned suspension manufacturers, and for good reason. These kits combine a functional design, extensive adjustability, and good value for money. The result is a suspension that significantly improves driving feel without compromising comfort.
Ride height adjustment is correctly implemented from the strut structure, so spring preload and ride height can be adjusted independently. Additionally, damping is adjustable, allowing for fine-tuning the suspension to suit your driving style.

Construction and Quality
BC Racing coilovers are based on a monotube design, which provides consistent and effective damping. The struts are made from durable materials:
- Shock absorbers are treated to prevent corrosion
- Aluminum parts are anodized for longevity
- Mounting parts have a durable coating for heavy use
Each kit is designed specifically for the car model and checked at the factory before delivery.
Adjustability
- Ride height adjustable from strut length
- Spring preload adjustable separately
- 30-way damping adjustment
- Camber adjustment from top mount on some models
The wide range of adjustment makes the suspension suitable for both daily driving and track use.
Serviceability and Customization
Spare parts and additional components are readily available for BC Racing suspensions. If necessary, spring rates or other parts can be changed according to the intended use. Fully customized solutions are also possible.
Model Series
Several different series are available for various applications:
-
BR Series: most popular for general use

Installation and Commissioning
Installation of the suspension can be done at home by a skilled enthusiast, but we recommend professional installation if necessary. After installation, wheel alignment is important for optimal handling and tire wear.
Important Notes
If your car has electronically adjustable suspension from the factory (e.g., EDC) or air suspension, the system usually needs to be electronically deactivated to avoid error lights. This can be done by coding or with a separate cancellation kit, depending on the model.
