Description
BMW E36 M3 and E36 Sedan offset top mounts (92-99) BC Racing BR coilover kit 6/9 kg/mm
The BC Racing BR coilover kit E36 M3 (part number I-26-BR-RA) 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 6 kg/mm front and 9 kg/mm rear.
The BR series is BC Racing’s all-round kit: made for daily use, with enough in reserve for a track day or autocross.
An M3 has a sporty character by nature, but after years the original dampers are often worn out. With this kit you once again get a tight, predictable car that steers neatly. You adjust the monotube dampers with linear piston in 30 clicks, and you set the ride height via the damper body, independently of the spring preload.
The spring rate is 6 kg/mm front and 9 kg/mm rear, slightly firmer at the rear than the standard Sedan/Coupe kit.
Key benefits
- Specific part number for the M3: also for Sedans with offset top mounts at the front.
- Spring rate 6/9 kg/mm: tuned for this application.
- Linear piston: predictable and easy to modulate on the road.
- 30 clicks: compression and rebound in one adjustment, per damper.
- Height independent of preload: lower the car without losing damper stroke.
- Patented concave lock ring: at the bottom, for a securely locked height.
- Pillowball top mounts or camber plates at the front: rubber or the original mounting at the rear.
- Rebuildable: the kit can be rebuilt after years of use.

Fitting and delivery
Before ordering, check whether you have an M3 or a Sedan with offset top mounts at the front, because this part number is designed for those. The kit is vehicle-specific and replaces the original dampers and springs. After setting the height, have the wheel alignment checked. The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If the kit is temporarily out of stock, you can still order and we will keep you informed.
An E36 M3 should steer sharply, even after thirty years; the BR series gives it that feeling back without making it so hard that it becomes undrivable.
Why choose this BR coilover kit E36 M3?
Because you want a kit that suits how you really use an M3: mostly on the road, sometimes on track. The BR gives a tighter suspension, a ride height of your choice and 30 steps of damping to fine-tune it. Without the compromises of a pure track kit.
