Description
BMW E90/E92 M3 Sedan/Coupe without EDC (06-13) BC Racing ER coilover kit 8/16 kg/mm
The BC Racing ER coilover kit M3 E92 (part number I-39-ER) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the BMW M3 E90 and E92 without EDC, model years 2006 to 2013. The spring rate is 8 kg/mm front and 16 kg/mm rear.
With the ER, BC Racing supplies a 2-way coilover kit with external reservoir for serious track and competition use. For the M3 E90 and E92 without EDC, the springs are 8 kg/mm front and 16 kg/mm rear.
Compression and rebound each have 30 clicks and you adjust them independently of each other. The monotube damper with dual piston works digressively and is filled with fully synthetic oil with a very high viscosity index.

Fitting and delivery
The kit is vehicle-specific and replaces the original dampers and springs. We recommend having it fitted by an experienced mechanic, also for placing the reservoirs. According to BC Racing UK, a plug-in kit may be needed with this version to prevent an error message; feel free to ask us for advice. After setting the height, have the wheel alignment set again. The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If BC Racing does not have the kit in stock, you can still order and we will keep you informed.
The BC Racing ER kit I-39-ER for the BMW M3 E90 and E92 without EDC is 2-way adjustable and has springs of 8 kg/mm front and 16 kg/mm rear.
Why choose this ER coilover kit M3 E92?
The ER is for M3 drivers who want to adjust more than a 1-way kit allows. Because compression and rebound are adjustable independently of each other, you can, for example, slow down the rebound without making the compression stiffer. At 8/16 kg/mm, the springs are firmer than on the BR and DS for this car, in line with serious track use.
