Description
BMW F87 M2 Competition (18-21) BC Racing RM coilover kit 6/12 or 6/14 kg/mm
The BC Racing RM coilover kit M2 Competition (part number I-98-RM-MA) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the BMW M2 Competition F87, model years 2018 to 2021. You choose the spring rate when ordering: 6/12 or 6/14 kg/mm front/rear.
For the M2 Competition, BC Racing has a dedicated RM kit, made for track days, hill climbs and tarmac rally. The RM uses an inverted monotube damper on MacPherson struts and an upright monotube on other suspension types, with a digressive piston and fully synthetic oil with a very high viscosity index.
The code MA stands for pillowball top mounts or camber plates at the front and rubber or the original mounting at the rear. BC Racing supplies this RM kit in two versions: both have 6 kg/mm springs at the front, and at the rear you choose 12 kg/mm or a firmer 14 kg/mm rear spring. Only the spring combination differs; the part number is I-98-RM-MA for both.

Fitting and delivery
The kit is vehicle-specific and replaces the original dampers and springs. We recommend having it fitted by an experienced mechanic. BC Racing advises periodic greasing of the RM and ZR series and recommends them less for road use than the BR, DS, ER or ZX. Plan a wheel alignment after fitting, because camber and toe change when the ride height is set. The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. No stock at the manufacturer? Then you can still order and we will let you know when the kit arrives.
BC Racing supplies the RM coilover kit I-98-RM-MA for the BMW M2 Competition F87 with 6 kg/mm springs at the front, 12 or 14 kg/mm at the rear and a digressive piston with fully synthetic oil.
Why choose this RM coilover kit M2 Competition?
If you mainly drive the M2 Competition on track, at a hill climb or on a tarmac rally stage, the RM matches that use. You get a digressive damper with synthetic oil, 30-click adjustment and pillowball top mounts or camber plates at the front. With 6/12 kg/mm you choose the lighter rear spring of the two versions; choose 6/14 kg/mm if you want to give the M2 Competition a firmer rear axle on track. If you are unsure between the two spring combinations, contact us before you order.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the BC Racing RM and DS coilover kits for the BMW M2 Competition?
The RM is track-oriented, the DS is also usable for sporty road driving. Both have a digressive piston and 30 clicks of damping, but the RM uses fully synthetic oil and, for the M2 Competition, has pillowball top mounts or camber plates at the front, whereas the DS has rubber or the original mounting. For road use, BC Racing prefers the DS, BR, ER or ZX over the RM.
Which spring rate should I choose for the BC Racing RM coilover kit for the M2 Competition: 6/12 or 6/14?
The only difference is the rear spring: 12 kg/mm on the 6/12 version, 14 kg/mm on the 6/14 version. At the front both have 6 kg/mm, and the BC Racing part number is I-98-RM-MA in both cases. With 6/14 the rear axle is more firmly sprung. Which one suits you depends on tyres, track and driving style; if in doubt, contact us.
Does the BC Racing RM coilover kit I-98-RM-MA fit a BMW M2 from 2016 to 2018?
No, the I-98-RM-MA is for the M2 Competition F87 from 2018 to 2021. For the M2 F87 from 2016 to 2018, BC Racing has a separate RM kit, the I-75-RM-MA. The RM coilover kit M2 Competition therefore only fits the Competition version.
What is the delivery time of the BC Racing RM coilover kit for the BMW M2 Competition?
The RM kit for the M2 Competition has a delivery time of 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If the kit is temporarily out of stock, you can still order it and we will send you a message as soon as the delivery date is known.
