Product Details
BC Racing RM Series Coilovers for the 2003-2010 BMW 5 Series E60 SEDAN ONLY (E60) are purpose-built for McPherson-strut cars that see serious track time, with an inverted mono-tube damper engineered to outlast a hard season of lateral loads. Every kit is extensively tested on the E60 chassis and refined until it balances ride quality with performance — the reason 5 Series E60 SEDAN ONLY coilovers from BC Racing are the best-selling adjustable kits in their segment worldwide.
The RM Series inverts the mono-tube damper on strut-equipped chassis, putting the heavy internals where the lateral loads are worst. A wider piston shaft than conventional uprights means more consistent damping on long sessions and more fatigue life before rebuild. 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 5 Series E60 SEDAN ONLY coilovers arrive tuned for the E60 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.
