XYZ Racing Top Sport Coilovers — BMW 2 SERIES G87 M2 (Modified Rear Integrated) 2023-2026

The G87 M2’s kerb weight climbed by more than 100kg over the F87 it replaced, and BMW put almost all of that extra mass over the rear axle. Wrapped around a 460hp S58 straight six sending everything to the back wheels, that means the standard adaptive dampers are doing more compromise-juggling than any 2 Series before it – soft enough for daily driving, firm enough to stop the rear stepping out under load.

The XYZ Racing Top Sport coilover for the BMW 2 Series G87 M2 (2023-2026) replaces that single-map compromise with a kit built specifically for cars that see the odd track day between road miles. It’s tuned around Top Sport’s own circuit programme, not lifted from a fast-road spec and relabelled.

What this coilover does for your 2023-2026 BMW 2 Series G87 M2

Fit this kit to your G87 M2 and the biggest change lands at the rear: the modified integral-link axle, adapted here to accept the coilover’s damper and spring assembly, resists the squat that comes with the S58’s torque and holds a flatter attitude through direction changes. Damping increased 30-50% over a standard street setting keeps the tyre’s contact patch loaded through compressions and over broken Tarmac, rather than letting the wheel skip and the traction control step in. A 2kg/mm spring rate increase reins in the body roll that comes with the extra kerb weight, without making the ride brittle enough to unsettle the car mid-corner on a British B-road. Height adjustment lets you drop the centre of gravity for track sessions and raise it again for daily use, and the stiffer construction resists the shock body flex that shows up as vague turn-in on a heavy, high-power coupe like this.

About the Top Sport coilover

Top Sport sits in XYZ Racing’s range as the kit built from their own circuit-racing damper programme, tuned up from the street-focused ranges rather than down from a full race spec. Compared with a standard road setting, damping force is raised by 30 to 50 per cent, or the spring rate is stepped up by around 2kg/mm, depending on the application – enough to control the car under braking and load transfer without resorting to race-only spring rates. The damper body is built to absorb hard hits without ballooning under repeated compression, so landing on a kerb or crossing a broken surface doesn’t send a jolt straight into the chassis. That control keeps the tyre loaded instead of skipping, which is where the extra traction actually comes from. It’s aimed at owners who want to run a track day and then drive home afterwards, with a single setup handling both.

Fitment for the BMW 2 Series G87 M2 (2023-2026)

This kit is built for the BMW 2 Series G87 M2, chassis code BM128-1, covering the 2023 to 2026 model years. It’s engineered around the G87’s modified rear integral-link suspension, so the rear damper and mounting hardware are matched to this specific axle rather than adapted from a generic multi-link setup.
