BMW 3 Series (E46) with coilover suspension

The BMW E46, built from 1998 to 2007, is a true classic among BMW models and is known for its precise handling, balanced weight distribution and sporty character. The E46 is particularly popular not only as a saloon, but also as a coupé, convertible and Touring. Typical of this model are its striking lines, agile handling and outstanding driving pleasure - whether on the road or the motorway. You can get even more out of your BMW E46 with coilover suspension. The continuously variable lowering not only ensures a sportier look, but also significantly better handling. Compared to a conventional sports suspension, a height-adjustable sports suspension offers the advantage that you can customise the vehicle height - ideal for finding the perfect balance between performance and suitability for everyday use. While sports suspensions often only offer a fixed lowering, coilover suspensions allow you to customise the look and driving dynamics according to your wishes. Lowering the BMW E46 in particular not only leads to an improved centre of gravity and less lateral tilt, but also to a significantly sportier road holding. This turns an already dynamic vehicle into a real driving pleasure that will thrill you every time. Especially when combined with modern components such as strut mounts or reinforced stabilisers, you get the maximum out of your E46.
