Product Details

These RS-R Sports-i coilovers fit the 1999-2005 BMW 3 Series (E46).

RS-R Sports-i coilovers for the E46 3 Series are built for daily driving and track days on the same set of dampers. The 36-level single-knob adjustment, vehicle-specific spring rates and full ride-height range set the car up for the commute or a track day with only the damper click wheel.

The Sports-i is RS-R’s foundation street-and-canyon coilover, a 36-level single-knob monotube damper built in-house in Osaka, Japan, with full ride-height adjustment and vehicle-specific spring rates. Backed by RS-R’s 1-year / 12,000-mile warranty and available as a rebuildable, serviceable unit.
