The Öhlins Road & Track suspension for the BMW 1 Series (E8X) gives drivers a true racing experience without compromising comfort during daily commutes. Our unique Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology allows drivers to quickly change the stiffness of the shock absorber. When arriving to the racetrack, turn the gold knob on the damper clockwise to set it in race mode. This action changes all four areas of the damper: high & low speed compression and high & low speed rebound.
With Öhlins Road & Track coilovers for the BMW 1 Series (E8X) you will experience a car with blistering response times, improved bump absorption and a massive amount of grip to increase the safety when driving your car on the limit. The car will be easier to balance on the edge of what the tires can handle before losing grip. You will be much quicker on track. The DFV suspension prevents you from losing the racing line when hitting bumps or curbs. The DFV components within react quickly and keeps you in control of the car and in contact with the track. When driving to and from the track, just set the dampers in road mode for a more relaxed and comfortable drive, still with more grip and quicker response time than ever before.
Which BMW 1 Series models does the Ohlins DFV Road & Track suspension fit? The Ohlins DFV Road & Track suspension fits a wide range of E8X BMW 1 Series models. On the E82 and E88 platform, it covers the 128i and 135i from 2008 to 2013, as well as the 1M from 2011 to 2012.
