XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — BMW 2 SERIES F87 M2 (excl. M2C) (Modified Rear Integrated) 2016-2021

The F87 M2’s S55 twin-turbo straight-six sits over a rear axle that already fights to stay planted under power, and a sealed tarmac stage multiplies that problem with crests, compressions and camber changes a road car never has to deal with. XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover for the BMW 2 Series F87 M2 (excl. M2C) is built around that reality – control through hard, unpredictable inputs rather than outright low-speed comfort.

Where a Circuit Master or Super Sport kit is calibrated for a smooth, closed circuit, this Tarmac Rally spec is set up for stage work: the kind of driving where a wheel can be unloaded one moment and slammed to the stops the next, and the rear end needs to stay obedient rather than step out uninvited.

What this coilover does for your 2016-2021 BMW 2 Series F87 M2

Fitted to your M2 with the modified rear integrated mounting this application specifies, the kit keeps the S55’s power going down through a rear axle that unloads and reloads hard on broken tarmac. Where a standard M2 damper folds under a compression taken flat, this set-up controls body movement through the crest-compression-crest sequences typical of a closed rally stage, so the outside rear tyre keeps working instead of skating across a bump. Ride height and corner balance are adjustable, which matters on an M2 that already carries plenty of weight over the rear axle under braking into a hairpin. The result on your car is a rear end that stays flat and predictable when you’re back on the throttle early out of a compression, not one that steps sideways because a mid-corner ridge has unloaded the tyre.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing built the Tarmac Rally range specifically for sealed-surface stage work, where the road surface itself is the main variable rather than a smooth, swept circuit line. The damper is tuned to soak up the impact of broken and uneven tarmac without transmitting every ridge and pothole straight into the chassis, and to absorb a big hit – a compression, a crest landing, a mid-corner ridge – without the body kicking back and unsettling the car afterwards. That control is aimed squarely at traction: keeping the tyre in contact with the road rather than skipping across it is what lets a driver get back on the power earlier out of a stage corner. XYZ has carried that philosophy through into a damping and spring set-up that prioritises stability and confident handling over outright stiffness, drawn directly from the brand’s own Tarmac Rally programme rather than adapted from a circuit-day product.

Fitment for the BMW 2 Series F87 M2 (2016-2021)

This kit is built for the F87-chassis BMW 2 Series M2 produced between 2016 and 2021, covering the standard M2 (chassis code BM83) – it is not the spec for the later M2 Competition (M2C), which uses a different rear subframe and mounting. Fitment uses the modified rear integrated mounting arrangement specific to this application, so confirm this is the correct rear-end configuration for your car before ordering.
