BC Racing BR Series Coilovers
Hey guys.
Just a teaser right now. I've YET to see anyone run this, so I took ANOTHER plunge for the forums. I picked these up with the optional Swift Springs (custom rates) The plan is to have these installed before Bimmerfest (Pray for me) and do a little marketing photo shoot with ModAuto for all of you guys! Keep in mind, I'm not getting anything out of this. I offered my car for photos and paid for the suspension myself. Stay tuned and much love!

I've ran them in other cars. I know at least one other guy on here that runs them.
I actually ordered them and the swift spring upgrade for the m235 also. Had to return them though because at the time they only had the 3-bolt top hats available. 2015+ need 5 bolt. Did they release the new top hat finally?! I waited like 6 months because they kept telling me "1 more month". Ended up with a different setup. I ordered them from mod auto also. Was thinking of doing the track day at bimmerfest. Don't think I'll make it though. Don't have time to swap out a new set of tires.

Hopefully the BC site just hasn't been updated yet because it still shows the coilover for 2014 only (they updated it after myself and modauto worked with them).
I hope ModAuto (mod bargains) still isn't selling the wrong coilover for 2015+ cars after the issue with mine. Ended up getting the KW Clubsports though

^^ Feel your pain, buddy. Staying tuned in for your feedback and photos. Bought KW CS's since, but still love hearing reviews on new tested products.

And they fixed the 5-bolt camber plate issue? Or are you not running camber plates up front?

You don't get any (or minimal) rubbing with 9.5+35 in the rear?

I would be surprised if he doesn't with a 255 tire. Especially with any aggressive driving or bumps.
I run a 9.5+45 with 255 tire and it's very close. EDIT: he stated earlier that it sometimes rubs.

Front Camber plates are 3-bolt as normal.
Works perfectly. And Yes, as stated above with weight and aggressive driving I do rub in the rear but it's very minimal. Say, +300lbs in the rear I'll rub.

Any chance you could get a photo showing the amount of poke from the rear wheels, and do you happen to know the amount of camber you have for the rears? Thank you!

the 3 bolt applies enough spread pressure to handle.
