XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — BMW 3 SERIES F80 M3 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2014-2018

The F80 M3’s S55 twin-turbo straight-six puts 425bhp through a chassis that, from the factory, was tuned for a compromise between Nürburgring lap times and Munich school runs. On a sealed stage that compromise shows up fast – the EDC dampers run out of bump travel over crested kerbs, and the rear axle skips on mid-corner ripples that a rally-spec damper would simply swallow. This Tarmac Rally coilover replaces the lot, and the supplied cancellation kit takes the EDC module out of the equation so the car stops fighting itself.

What you get is a damper built around impact absorption first and outright stiffness second. The Tarmac Rally settings come straight from XYZ Racing’s own stage experience, where staying planted over broken sealed-surface stages matters more than a flat skidpad number.

What this coilover does for your 2014-2018 Bmw 3 Series F80 M3 (cancellation Kit For Electronic Damping)

On a competition surface the F80 will finally use all of its rear tyre. Big compressions over crests – the sort that unload an EDC car and leave it skating on the bump-stops – get absorbed and recovered without the chassis pattering sideways. Mid-corner bumps stop unsettling the rear diff, so you can lean on the S55’s torque earlier out of slow corners. Ride height drops to a sensible competition stance without losing the travel you need over kerbs. The cancellation kit removes the EDC fault codes the OE loom would otherwise throw the moment you unplugged the factory dampers, so the car drives without a dash full of warnings.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally damper is built specifically to absorb the impact of uneven pavement – the broken edges, expansion joints and surface changes that define real sealed-stage running rather than a smooth circuit. The valving is set up to suppress body shock when the car lands hard off a crest or hits a sharp ridge, holding the contact patch on the road instead of letting the tyre skip. That translates directly into traction: the wheel stays loaded, the diff has something to work against, and the car feels stable where a road-biased coilover would be pogoing. The settings have been arrived at through XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme, not extrapolated from a circuit spec. Supplied here with the cancellation kit needed to bypass the F80’s electronic damping module cleanly.
