Ohlins Road & Track Coilover Kit - 1 series (E81, E82, E87, E88) no Hybrid or xDrive 2004 - 2013

Transform your BMW 1 Series handling with a true road plus track suspension upgrade

Give your E81, E82, E87 or E88 the precision, control and comfort it deserves with this premium adjustable damper and spring package from Ohlins. Designed for drivers who want confidence on fast road drives and dependable pace on track days, this height adjustable suspension brings sharper turn in, superb body control and an impressively compliant ride on British roads.

Why enthusiasts choose this kit

Ohlins DFV Dual Flow Valve technology is the secret. It lets the damper react quickly to bumps so the tyre stays in contact with the tarmac, boosting grip and traction. At low speeds over small imperfections, the car remains calm and comfortable. Push harder on rougher surfaces and the valves open to control big hits with authority. The result is stability, traction and confidence, lap after lap and mile after mile.

How DFV improves your drive

• Compression control: At gentle piston speeds oil flows through the bleed jet for supple response. As speeds rise it uses the piston ports, and on sudden impacts the DFV path opens to manage the hit smoothly.
• Rebound control: The same principle applies on extension, which keeps the tyre pressed to the road and maximises grip when you are braking, turning and accelerating.
• Consistent feel when hot: A clever temperature compensating bleed needle maintains damping as the oil warms up, so your set up feels consistent on long drives and during hard sessions.
