Description
BC Racing BR coilover kit BMW Z4 M E85 (06-08) 5/8 kg/mm
The BC Racing BR coilover kit Z4 M (part number I-22-BR-RA) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the BMW Z4 M (E85), model years 2006 to 2008. The spring rate is 5 kg/mm front and 8 kg/mm rear.
At BC Racing the Z4 M has its own part number, separate from the regular Z4 E85. This BR kit is therefore intended specifically for the Z4 M Roadster; when ordering, make sure you do not choose the kit for the regular Z4.
As an all-round series, the BR suits a Z4 M that is mainly driven on the road and does the occasional track day or autocross. The monotube dampers with linear piston, the 30-click damping adjustment and the ride height that you set independently of the spring preload put you in control of how the car sits on the road.
Key benefits
- Own part number for the Z4 M: I-22-BR-RA, not to be confused with the kit for the regular Z4 E85.
- Ride height via the damper body: adjustable independently of the spring preload.
- 30 clicks: compression and rebound together, per damper.
- Linear piston: predictable damping that builds up evenly.
- Spring rate 5/8 kg/mm: stiffer at the rear than at the front.
- Pillowball top mounts or camber plates at the front: with rubber or the original mounting at the rear.
- Concave lower lock ring: BC Racing’s patented locking system.
- Rebuildable: the dampers can be rebuilt.
Suitable for
BMW Z4 M Roadster (E85) with rear-wheel drive, model years 2006 to 2008
- Sporty road use with the Z4 M

Fitting and delivery
The kit is vehicle-specific for the Z4 M and replaces the original dampers and springs. We recommend having it fitted by an experienced mechanic. On some cars the pillowball top mount at the front requires a small modification to the upper mounting; if in doubt, contact us. Have the wheel alignment reset after adjusting the height. The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If BC Racing temporarily has the kit out of stock, you can still order and we will keep you informed of the delivery date.
For the BMW Z4 M Roadster (E85), BC Racing has a dedicated BR kit with part number I-22-BR-RA.
Why choose this BR coilover kit Z4 M?
The Z4 M has its own kit, and this BR is made for it. You get a tighter and more direct suspension, a height you choose yourself and damping you tune in 30 steps, while the car remains usable for everyday driving.
