BMW E90 Coilovers

Yes, but they are listed as separate fitments. The E90 sedan and E92 coupe share the same basic suspension geometry on the Non-M platform, and BC Racing produces kits that cover both. The E91 touring is also covered. When ordering through Springrates, confirm your exact body style and drivetrain using the vehicle selector to ensure you receive the correct kit. Do not assume that an E90 sedan kit and an E92 coupe kit are the same part number - they may differ in specification depending on the series.

The RWD and xDrive E90 variants use different front suspension configurations that require separate coilover kits. They are not interchangeable. The xDrive drivetrain also affects the front lower control arm geometry, which changes the fitment requirements for the coilover lower mount. Always select your drivetrain variant when ordering. If you have a 325xi, 328xi or 330xi, that is the xDrive kit. Standard 325i, 328i and 330i models are RWD. If you are unsure, check the vehicle option code in your door jamb or contact Springrates before ordering.

BC Racing E90 coilovers fit physically on EDC-equipped vehicles, but they do not interface with the OEM Electronic Damping Control system. Fitting aftermarket coilovers permanently disables the EDC functionality. Depending on the vehicle's configuration, fault codes may appear, and additional steps may be required to clear them. This is a common consideration on the E90 platform and is not unique to BC Racing; any aftermarket coilover will yield the same result on an EDC-equipped car. If EDC compatibility is a priority for you, aftermarket coilovers are not a suitable upgrade.

The E90 uses MacPherson struts at the front, which carry both vertical and lateral chassis loads simultaneously. This creates higher lateral loads on the front damper shaft than a double A-arm setup would. The BC Racing RM Series uses a larger inverted piston shaft specifically engineered to handle these lateral loads for longer periods without fatigue, while the inverted design also reduces unsprung weight at the front wheels. The HM Series adds independent compression and rebound adjustment via external reservoirs atop the RM's inverted foundation, making it the most capable BC option for an E90 used regularly on track.

Front camber plates are included on applicable E90 fitments across certain BC Racing series. Camber plates allow genuine camber angle adjustment at the front, which is important for correcting geometry after lowering and for setting negative camber for improved grip on track. Not all series and fitment combinations include camber plates - some use non-adjustable top mounts or reuse OEM upper mounts. Check the specifications section on the product page for your specific E90 kit to confirm what upper mount configuration is included before ordering.

Standard BC Racing E90 coilover kits deliver approximately one to two inches of drop below factory ride height. The Extreme Low option, available on both RWD and xDrive E90 configurations, extends that to approximately two to three inches for a more aggressive stance. Factory ride height cannot be achieved once coilovers are fitted. The amount of drop achievable depends on your wheel and tyre fitment and whether you are starting with the standard or sport factory suspension. An alignment is required after installation on any configuration.

Yes. All BC Racing E90 coilover kits can be ordered with custom spring rates at no additional cost, with the damper valving automatically matched to your chosen rates. This is particularly relevant for E90 owners running power upgrades, track setups, or seeking a specific spring rate balance between the front and rear for handling or stance purposes. Swift Spring upgrades are also available. Any customisation, including custom spring rates, Swift springs, or the Extreme Low option, converts the order to a custom build with a typical lead time of four to six weeks from order to delivery.
