BMW 3 Series E36 with coilover suspension
The BMW 3 Series E36, built from 1990 to 2000, is one of the most popular classics in the BMW range. With its sporty lines, powerful six-cylinder in-line engines and balanced weight distribution, it continues to delight enthusiasts and mechanics alike to this day. Particularly noteworthy are the variants such as the 325i or the legendary M3, which stand for precise handling and dynamic driving pleasure. With a coilover suspension, the BMW 3 Series E36 can not only be visually upgraded, but also significantly improved in terms of driving dynamics. By lowering the front and rear individually, you can optimally adjust the vehicle height and thus achieve a sportier driving behaviour. Compared to a classic sports suspension, a height-adjustable sports suspension offers you the advantage of stepless adjustment, so that you can achieve the perfect look and perfect performance both on the country road and on the motorway. An example: While a sports suspension only offers a fixed lowering, with a coilover suspension you can vary the height depending on your taste and intended use - ideal for tuning fans and performance enthusiasts. The BMW E36 benefits in particular from optimised road holding and reduced lateral inclination, which is noticeable in more precise steering behaviour and more driving pleasure. In addition, the E36 with coilover suspension offers a perfect basis for further performance upgrades - whether larger wheels, more powerful brakes or a conversion to Clubsport level.

BMW 3 Series Coupé (E36) with DTSline SX coilover suspension
The DTSline SX coilover suspension is the ideal choice for giving your BMW 3 Series Coupé (E36) a sporty look and significantly improved handling. With a lowering of 40-60 mm on the front axle and 20-50 mm on the rear axle, you achieve a striking lowering of the vehicle height, which makes the E36 look even more dynamic. Thanks to the robust, galvanised steel material, the suspension also scores highly in terms of durability and resistance to corrosion. As an entry-level product, the DTSline SX coilover suspension is particularly impressive due to its unbeatably favourable price. Despite the lack of adjustment range for hardness, you get a noticeably sportier ride and improved handling, which pays off both on the country road and on the motorway. Compared to a classic sports suspension, you have the advantage of infinitely variable height adjustment - perfect for tuning the E36 exactly to your taste. The driving behaviour of the E36 Coupé in particular benefits from the more precise road holding and reduced lateral inclination. The variable lowering allows you to lower the centre of gravity in a targeted manner, which ensures more direct steering behaviour, especially when cornering.
