Description
BMW F80/F82 M3/M4 3-bolt True Rear (14-20) BC Racing ZX coilover kit 6/6 kg/mm
The BC Racing ZX coilover kit M3 M4 F80 3-bolt True Rear (part number I-132-ZX) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the BMW M3 F80 and M4 F82 with front top mounts secured by 3 bolts, model years 2014 to 2020, in True Rear version. The spring rate is 6 kg/mm front and 6 kg/mm rear.
The ZX series combines the construction of the DS with the external reservoir of the ER and adds 3-way adjustment. You set the low-speed compression in 20 clicks, the high-speed compression in 12 clicks and the rebound in 30 clicks. BC Racing makes the ZX for competitive track use, long sessions and demanding drifting.
The upright monotube dampers have a double piston, digressive damping and race oil with a very high viscosity index. In this True Rear version the spring also sits around the damper at the rear. The kit is for the M3 F80 and M4 F82 with front top mounts secured by 3 bolts.

Fitting and delivery
The kit is vehicle-specific and replaces the original dampers and springs. We recommend having it fitted by an experienced mechanic. Please note: BC Racing specifies that the body shell must be reinforced before a True Rear kit is fitted. When ordering, make sure that this kit belongs with 3-bolt front top mounts. After setting the ride height, have the alignment set again; with three adjustment options it pays to tune the damping in small steps on a test day. The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If BC Racing temporarily cannot supply the ZX, you can still order; we will let you know the expected delivery date.
The BC Racing ZX True Rear kit I-132-ZX for the BMW M3 F80 and M4 F82 with 3-bolt top mounts is 3-way adjustable: 20 clicks of low-speed compression, 12 clicks of high-speed compression and 30 clicks of rebound.
Why choose this ZX coilover kit M3 M4 F80 3-bolt True Rear?
With the ZX you set not only the rebound but also, separately, how the damper responds to slow body movements and to fast impacts from kerbs and bumps. This lets you tune an M3 or M4 precisely for long track sessions or drift work. True Rear gives the rear a complete strut as well, and because the dampers are rebuildable, you can have them rebuilt after intensive use.

Frequently asked questions
Is the BC Racing ZX True Rear coilover kit I-132-ZX the right choice for my BMW M3 F80 or M4 F82?
Yes, if the front top mounts of your car are secured to the strut tower with 3 bolts. If there are 5 bolts, you need the I-133-ZX. If you are not sure, send us a photo of the strut tower or your chassis number.
Which versions of the BMW M3 F80 and M4 F82 does the BC Racing ZX True Rear coilover kit fit?
The M3 F80 Sedan and M4 F82 Coupe, model years 2014 to 2020, with rear-wheel drive and 3-bolt front top mounts. The M4 Convertible (F83) has not been confirmed; please contact us for that version.
What is the difference between the BC Racing ZX and ER True Rear coilover kits for the BMW M3 F80 and M4 F82?
The ZX is 3-way adjustable, the ER 2-way. Where you set compression and rebound each in 30 clicks on the ER, the ZX splits the compression into 20 clicks at low speed and 12 clicks at high speed. The ZX coilover kit M3 M4 F80 3-bolt True Rear is therefore intended for competition, long sessions and demanding drifting.
What is the delivery time of the BC Racing ZX True Rear coilover kit for the BMW M3 F80 and M4 F82?
You can expect 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If the ZX is temporarily sold out, you can still order it and we will keep you informed.
