Product Details

BC Racing HM Series Coilovers for the 2008-2013 BMW M3 combine the inverted-damper durability of the RM Series with the independent compression and rebound tuning of the ER Series, BC's pick for track-day McPherson-strut builds. Every kit is extensively tested on the M3 chassis and refined until it balances ride quality with performance, the reason M3 coilovers from BC Racing are the best-selling adjustable kits in their segment worldwide.

HM Series kits use an inverted mono-tube damper on McPherson-strut chassis (upright on double-wishbone) with external reservoirs feeding separate compression and rebound adjusters. The result: the tuning depth of the ER Series inside the heavy-load chassis architecture of the RM. BC Racing takes pride in choosing spring rates and damper valving that balance comfort and performance, you never end up with the oversprung, harsh-riding kit some brands ship as their only option. Drivers who want to deviate from the factory setup can order Swift Springs, custom spring rates, and custom valving at checkout; BC will re-valve the dampers to match whatever you specify, a level of customization most brands reserve for their top-tier race kits.

BC Racing's reputation in the aftermarket suspension world is built on four things: competitive pricing that beats the rest of the fully-adjustable market, customization depth that rivals the top-tier race brands, long-term reliability earned over 20 years of production, and a rebuildable design that keeps the same set of dampers serving you through multiple builds. These M3 coilovers arrive tuned for the M3 chassis and ready to bolt in, no break-in period, no guessing at setup. Every kit ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty, lifetime access to BC service parts (pistons, seals, shafts, no unit replacement required when it's time for a rebuild), and in-house tech support from both BC Racing and the Springrates team.
