Description
BMW E36 M3 and E36 Sedan offset top mounts inverted (92-99) BC Racing RM coilover kit 8/10 kg/mm
The BC Racing RM coilover kit E36 M3 (part number I-26-RM-MA) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the BMW E36 M3, model years 1992 to 1999, and the E36 Sedan with offset top mounts. The spring rate is 8 kg/mm front and 10 kg/mm rear.
This kit is made for cars that work hard on track days, in hill climbs or in tarmac rallies. On MacPherson struts the RM series uses an inverted monotube damper, and on other suspension types an upright monotube.
A digressive piston provides plenty of control over the body under braking and turn-in. The fully synthetic oil with a very high viscosity index keeps the damping at its level when the dampers are hot after a few hard sessions.
The spring rate is 8/10 kg/mm, firmer than the road-oriented kits for the M3. You set the damping in 30 clicks and the ride height is infinitely adjustable via the damper body.
Key benefits
- Inverted design: on the MacPherson struts of the M3.
- Spring rate 8/10 kg/mm: firm, for intensive track use.
- Digressive: clear control over roll and dive.
- Synthetic oil with a very high viscosity index: damping that does not fade when it gets hot.
- Camber plates as standard on suitable kits: camber can be adjusted directly.
- 30-click damping adjustment: compression and rebound together.
- For hill climbs and tarmac rally: not just for the circuit.
- Rebuildable: made for multiple seasons.

Fitting and delivery
Before ordering, check whether your car is an M3 or a Sedan with offset top mounts, because this part number is designed for those. After fitting, a full wheel alignment is required, including setting the camber with the camber plates on suitable kits. BC Racing advises periodic greasing of the RM series and recommends it less for road use than the BR, DS, ER or ZX. The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If BC Racing is temporarily out of the kit, you can still order and we will keep you informed.
For an M3 that needs to perform equally well on the hill, on the rally stage and on the circuit, the RM series is the logical step.
Why choose this RM coilover kit E36 M3?
The M3 E36 is a rewarding base for track and competition work, but then the suspension has to keep up. The RM series delivers firm springs, digressive damping and oil that can handle heat. That way the car stays predictable even in the last session of the day.
