Do the Öhlins Road & Track coilovers fit the BMW 1M Coupé (E82)?

Yes. The Öhlins Road & Track coilover kit is engineered specifically for the BMW 1M Coupé (E82) produced in 2011 and 2012. Both front and rear components are designed to work with the original top mounts, so no additional brackets or adapters are required for proper fitment.

What does Öhlins DFV technology do, and why does it matter?

DFV stands for Dual Flow Valve. On the Öhlins Road & Track coilovers, a single adjustment knob changes all four damping areas at once: low-speed and high-speed compression, plus low-speed and high-speed rebound. This means you can switch from road mode to race mode at the track with one clockwise turn, then revert on the way home without any tools or multiple separate adjustments.

How much can I lower my BMW 1M Coupé with this kit?

The Öhlins Road & Track kit for the BMW 1M Coupé (E82) provides approximately 5 to 20 mm of lowering adjustment at both the front and rear. Each end uses a separate damper length adjuster and spring preload adjuster for independent corner setup.

Are the dampers rebuildable?

Yes. The Öhlins Road & Track dampers are fully rebuildable, which means they can be serviced, revalved, and custom-tuned over time rather than replaced entirely. This extends the usable life of the kit and allows tuning adjustments as your driving needs change.

What warranty does Öhlins provide on this kit?

Öhlins covers the Road & Track coilover kit for the BMW 1M Coupé (E82) with a 2-year warranty. The kit also carries TÜV approval and has been tested to ISO 9227 corrosion salt spray standards.

Description

Öhlins DFV Road & Track Suspension Upgrade for E82 BMW 1M

The Öhlins Road & Track coilovers for the BMW 1M Coupé (E82) give you genuine race performance without giving up the ride quality you need on your daily commute. Designed for drivers who refuse to compromise, this suspension kit is just as popular with manufacturers building dedicated track day cars as it is with aftermarket buyers looking to push chassis performance further. Choose the full suspension kit or individual shock absorbers and struts, depending on your application.

One Knob, Four Adjustments

At the center of this kit is Öhlins’ Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology. Arriving at the track? Turn the single gold knob clockwise to switch into race mode. That one adjustment changes all four damping areas simultaneously: low-speed compression, high-speed compression, low-speed rebound, and high-speed rebound. No separate adjustments, no guesswork. When the session ends, dial back to road mode and drive home in comfort.

Performance You Can Feel

On track, the Öhlins Road & Track coilovers deliver noticeably faster response times, improved bump absorption, and significantly more traction at the limit. The internal DFV components react quickly to surface irregularities, keeping all four corners planted and working. The car becomes easier to balance on the edge of grip, giving you more confidence to push harder and exit corners faster. Off the track, the road mode setting brings back comfort without sacrificing the improved response and grip you gain over the factory setup.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
