XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — BMW 3 SERIES E90 M3 (Modified Rear Integrated) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2007-2011

The E90 M3’s S65 V8 pulls hard to 8,300rpm, and on a tarmac rally stage that means heavy weight transfer under trail-braking into blind compressions that the standard EDC-equipped dampers were never tuned for. XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover replaces that adaptive damping hardware outright, built around a fixed valving strategy for repeated hits over broken pavement rather than smooth-road comfort.

This is a stage-car spec, not a fast-road one. Rally pace across changing camber and mid-corner bumps needs a damper that keeps the tyre loaded when the surface drops away underneath it, and that is the brief this kit is built to answer.

What this coilover does for your 2007-2011 Bmw 3 Series E90 M3 (Modified Rr Integrated) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping)

Fit this kit and the front end stops skating over broken tarmac mid-corner – the damper controls the wheel through compression rather than letting a road-biased spring and shock combination get overwhelmed by a stage’s repeated inputs. Because the cancellation kit removes the factory electronic damping control, there is no dash warning light and no computer fighting the new valving; what you set at the corner is what stays set through the stage. At the rear, the modified RR-integrated mount keeps the diff and subframe geometry under control as load transfers backward under throttle out of slow corners, which matters more on an M3 than on a lighter chassis given how much weight that S65 V8 puts over the front axle. Ride height is adjustable, so you can restore the correction needed after the drop and keep the geometry usable across a full stage rather than just one fast corner.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally is built specifically around stage driving on broken or patched asphalt, not billiard-table circuit surfaces. Where a circuit-focused coilover chases minimum body roll on a consistent line, this one is tuned to absorb the sudden vertical hits a rally stage throws at a car, a pothole disguised by a blind crest, a ridge of frost-heaved tarmac mid-braking zone, without the chassis kicking sideways or the tyre skipping off the road. XYZ Racing’s own Tarmac Rally programme shaped the valving: damping that controls the shock body through a hard hit rather than letting it rebound unchecked, which keeps the contact patch loaded and the car pointing where you left it. The result is a kit tuned for stability over broken surfaces first and outright stiffness second, with settings pulled directly from that racing experience rather than a road-car baseline.

Fitment for the Bmw 3 Series E90 M3 (Modified Rr Integrated) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) (2007-2011)

This kit is specced for the E90-generation M3, chassis code BM89-C, built between 2007 and 2011, and includes the modified rear-integrated mount plus the cancellation kit needed to disable factory electronic damping control without triggering a dash fault.
