Product Details
BC Racing ZX Series Coilovers for the 2000-2006 BMW 3 Series Convertible M3 (E46 M3) bring the same three-axis adjustability as the race-spec ZR Series with valving tuned for drivers who split time between street and track. Every kit is extensively tested on the 3 Series Convertible M3 chassis and refined until it balances ride quality with performance, the reason 3 Series Convertible M3 coilovers from BC Racing are the best-selling adjustable kits in their segment worldwide.
ZX Series kits share the three-axis damper architecture of the race-spec ZR Series, tuned out of the box for drivers who want race-grade adjustability without the ride harshness on the commute home. 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 has been manufacturing adjustable coilovers since 2004 and is one of the most popular coilover brands in the automotive tuning industry for a reason: competitive pricing, deep customization, proven reliability, and a fully rebuildable damper design that lasts years instead of seasons. These 3 Series Convertible M3 coilovers arrive tuned for the 3 Series Convertible 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.
