Öhlins Road & Track Coilover Suspension - BMW 3-Series/M3 (E46)
Öhlins brings over 40 years of motorsport engineering to the street with the Road & Track series, and this kit (SKU BMS MI30S1) is built specifically for the BMW 3-Series and M3. Öhlins' proprietary Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology delivers genuine racing response with none of the daily compromise, giving the E46 chassis a level of control and comfort that standard coilovers can't match.
