BMW E90/E92 M3 Sedan/Coupe without EDC (06-13) BC Racing RM coilover kit 8/14 kg/mm
The BC Racing RM coilover kit M3 E92 (part number I-39-RM-MA) 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 14 kg/mm rear.
BC Racing aims the RM series at track days, hill climbs and tarmac rally. In the version for the M3 E90 and E92 without EDC, the springs are 8 kg/mm front and 14 kg/mm rear, noticeably firmer than on the BR and DS for this car.

Fitting and delivery
The kit is vehicle-specific 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. 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. According to BC Racing UK, this version may require a plug-in kit to prevent an error message; feel free to ask us for advice. After adjusting the height, have the wheel alignment reset. 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 let you know the delivery date.
The BC Racing RM kit I-39-RM-MA for the BMW M3 E90 and E92 without EDC has springs of 8 kg/mm front and 14 kg/mm rear and works with fully synthetic oil.
Why choose this RM coilover kit M3 E92?
The RM is intended for an M3 that is mainly driven on track, at a hill climb or on a tarmac rally. The firmer springs and the digressive damping with synthetic oil suit that use. If your M3 is mainly driven on the road, the BR or DS is a better choice, because BC Racing recommends the RM less for road use.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the BC Racing RM and DS coilover kits for the BMW M3 E92 without EDC?
The RM has springs of 8/14 kg/mm and synthetic oil and is intended for track days, hill climbs and tarmac rally; the DS has 6/10 kg/mm and is also suitable for sporty road use. Both have a digressive piston and 30 clicks. BC Racing advises periodic greasing of the RM.
Is the BC Racing RM coilover kit I-39 suitable for an M3 E90/E92 with EDC?
No, the I-39-RM-MA is for the M3 without EDC. For M3s with EDC, Race4DriftParts supplies kits with an I-13 part number (BR, DS, ER, ZX and ZR), for which BC Racing prescribes an EDC delete kit that BC Racing does not sell. You can usually tell whether your M3 has EDC by the EDC button on the centre console; if in doubt, contact us.

Only the Sedan and Coupe. BC Racing releases the kit for the M3 E90 Sedan (2006 to 2013) and the M3 E92 Coupe (2007 to 2013) without EDC; for the M3 Convertible E93 there are separate kits.
