BMW M2 G87.
The coilover guide.
Shop the coiloversThe G87 has broad arches, a short coupe body and electronic dampers from the factory. Start with the exact rear-drive application, then agree the springs, rear hardware and electronics before choosing your kit.
The G87 M2, from the 2023 launch to newer variants
The G87 is the second-generation M2, distinct from both the earlier F87 and the G42 M240i. Shared M3/M4 kit references can be correct, but the application must actually name the G87 M2.
BC Racing, AST and MOTON provide the current choices here. The verified application rows are rear-wheel drive. Keep the newer M xDrive car and the CS as separate checks, and plan what happens to the factory adaptive damping.
BMW revealed the second-generation M2 in October 2022, ahead of its global launch in April 2023. It paired a six-cylinder engine with rear-wheel drive and a choice of manual or automatic transmission. The square front openings and pronounced wheel arches made it easy to distinguish from the G42 coupe.
The 2024 update brought cabin and exterior revisions, with UK deliveries beginning that autumn. The G87 remained a two-door M2, but a registration year alone cannot identify its build specification or establish suspension compatibility.
BMW added the M2 CS in 2025 and announced an M2 with M xDrive in 2026. Those names need their own checks. The rear-drive supplier rows used here do not establish fitment for the all-wheel-drive car, and a general G87 heading does not separately confirm the CS.
Choose wheel width, offset and tyre dimensions together. Give the fitter those details and any spacer sizes, then check the inner suspension, brakes and outer arch through movement before setting the height.
For a road car, keep the journeys you actually make in mind: uneven surfaces, steep entrances and the loads you carry. Agree a usable height and enough travel before chasing a parked stance. Replacing the electronic dampers also changes the setup plan, even if the replacement has manual adjustment.
For track days, decide who will help with alignment, damping settings and servicing. Reservoir-equipped options need suitable routing and access. Record the initial settings, tyre behaviour and each change so the next adjustment has a useful reference.

Rear-wheel-drive M2 G87
BC I-103 names the G87 alongside rear-drive M3/M4 applications. AST and MOTON name the M2 G87 RWD from 2023 onward. Match the actual build, mounts and supplied parts; another G8x badge alone does not confirm fitment.
View rear-drive choices
Plan the electronic-damper change
The launch G87 has Adaptive M suspension. The AST and MOTON G87 application notes say to order an EDC delete kit separately. Agree the exact electronic solution and the functions lost before replacing the factory dampers.
View AST and MOTON applications
BC rear-integrated application
BC lists I-134 for a rear-integrated G87 M2 arrangement. The current shop heading names M3/M4 only, so confirm this exact reference and the complete conversion package before ordering. It changes the factory separate-spring layout.
View I-134 configurations
CS, xDrive or a changed car
The current rear-drive rows do not approve the newer M2 with M xDrive. A CS, import or car with previous suspension changes also needs an exact build and equipment check. Bring the chassis and part numbers rather than transferring a G42 or F87 fitment.

For a 2023 rear-drive M2 G87, BC I-103 BR-RA is the road example. The current option specifies pillowball front and rubber rear mounts. Confirm the spring and fitting package and agree the electronic-damper solution before fitting. Keep useful clearance for your wheels and regular journeys.
- Match the rear-drive G87 application
- Agree the electronic-damper solution
- Keep room for steering and suspension travel
A one-way package with a specified rear arrangement.
Read the buying advice
AST ACT-B2110SD is the 5100 example for the same 2023 rear-drive G87. Its set description names an NCO package with front mounts and droplinks; confirm the supplied parts and spring choice. AST explicitly calls for a separate EDC delete kit. Budget for alignment and time to work through setup changes.
- Confirm the NCO rear package
- Order the correct EDC solution separately
- Plan alignment and setup support
Three-way controls for a defined setup programme.

MOTON M 505 186SD is the three-way example listed for a 2023 rear-drive G87 M2. It separates rebound from high- and low-speed compression. Specify the running weight, tyres and event plans, then agree the rear conversion, mounting hardware, reservoir locations and control access. The EDC delete kit is separate.
- Provide running weight and tyre plans
- Agree rear hardware and reservoir placement
- Include setup and servicing support
Separate at the factory; conversion is a kit choice
On a standard BMW M2 G87 factory-style rear, the rear spring and shock absorber are mounted separately.
Layout only. Mounts and spring seats vary by kit.The factory G87 rear coil spring sits on its own seats beside a separate damper. The spring does not surround the damper. A replacement can retain that arrangement, with the height adjuster at the spring unit.
BC's I-134 is explicitly a rear-integrated alternative. AST and MOTON also distinguish rear packages, so confirm the exact springs, mounts and load path with the supplier and fitter before a conversion. The comparison identifies component positions; it does not establish mounting suitability or fitting instructions.
Understand height and spring preload
Check the actual M2 before fitting
Use the finder to identify the car, then add the build date, driven wheels and original suspension equipment. Include the wheel and tyre dimensions, brakes and previous work so the exact package can be checked.
Agree the electronic changes and the supplied or reused rear parts before booking. Check clearance at the intended height, complete the alignment and retain the measurements and initial settings for later adjustments.
Wheels, tyres and usable arch space
Check the actual widths, offsets, tyre shapes and spacers at the intended height. Include full steering movement, suspension travel and normal loads. A wide-looking arch does not prove clearance on the inside.
Brake clearance at the wheel
Check spoke and barrel shape around the fitted calipers, including any changed brake package. Wheel diameter alone cannot establish clearance. Keep the wheel and brake specifications with the fitting notes.
Rear parts and electronic controls
Agree whether the kit retains separate rear springs or uses a rear coilover conversion. Confirm mounts, seats, adjusters and the required electronic-damper solution; a kit name is not a complete contents list.
Alignment and the finished height
Set the agreed ride height before final alignment. Include relevant sensor and headlamp checks, access to damping controls and a settling and clearance recheck in the fitting plan.
The current M2 G87 range.
Compare the controls and hardware included in each range.
I-103 names the rear-drive G87 M2 in BC's current application list. Compare BR-RA, RM-MA, ER and ZX as distinct configurations with their own controls and mounting specification. I-134 names a rear-integrated G87 alternative, although its current shop heading omits M2. Confirm the exact reference, contents and electronic solution.
View BC Racing M2 G87 kits
The G87 RWD row lists three 5100 references, the two-way 5200 and the three-way 5300. Compare their specified controls and rear packages. ACU-B2110SD has conflicting set-description and application wording about the rear layout and model description; confirm its contents by part number. All G87 rows call for a separate EDC delete kit.
View AST M2 G87 kits
M 505 184SD, M 505 185SD and M 505 186SD are the one-, two- and three-way references listed for the M2 G87 RWD from 2023. Confirm springs, rear conversion parts and mount contents. The remote-reservoir packages need an installation and access plan, and the application notes require a separate EDC delete kit.

Before you order.
Identify your car
Identify M2 G87, build date and driven wheels. Keep F87, G42, CS and the newer M xDrive application checks distinct.
Match the kit
Confirm the exact kit reference and factory damper equipment. Agree the electronic-damper solution and the functions that change.
Check what’s included
Check the supplied rear package, springs, mounts and adjusters. A separate-spring replacement and a rear-integrated conversion need different hardware checks.
Check your modifications
Check wheel width, offset, tyre shape, spacers and brake clearance through steering and suspension movement at the proposed height.
Plan fitting
Plan fitting, final alignment and relevant equipment checks. Include control access, settling and a later clearance check.
See what the adjustments do.
Choosing coilovers for road and track
Compare the kit against your roads, tyres and setup plans before counting adjusters.
Ride height and spring preload
Understand the two adjustments before choosing a lowering range.
What spring rate tells you
Compare force and movement, read the units and choose a spring with the damper in mind.
Spring rates and top mounts
Read the front/rear figures and check which mounts come with your kit.
Questions about BMW M2 G87 coilovers.
Check the details before choosing your kit.
Can I use an F87 or G42 kit on a G87 M2?
Check that the exact manufacturer application names your G87 M2. A 2 Series badge or a shared G42/G87 heading cannot establish that fitment. The current references name the rear-drive G87 M2, with the I-134 shop-heading discrepancy explained separately.
What happens to the factory adaptive dampers?
The launch G87 has Adaptive M suspension. Replacing those dampers with a manually adjustable package needs an agreed electronic solution and a clear account of the functions lost. AST and MOTON explicitly instruct owners of EDC-equipped cars to order the delete kit separately. Do not assume it is included.
Are the G87 rear spring and damper separate?
Yes. In the factory arrangement the coil spring sits on its own seats beside the damper. It does not surround the damper. Some replacement packages retain that layout; a rear-integrated conversion uses a different arrangement and needs its exact mounts and hardware confirmed.
Why does I-134 appear here under an M3/M4 shop title?
BC's current application chart explicitly names the M2 G87 for I-134 Rear Integrated RWD. The current shop heading only names M3/M4 G80/G82. Confirm the exact I-134 configuration and complete G87 conversion package before ordering; the existing listing identity is retained.
Do these rear-drive references cover M2 xDrive or CS?
The current rear-drive rows do not establish fitment for the M2 with M xDrive. The CS also needs an exact build and equipment check rather than a general G87 assumption. Provide the chassis and original suspension details before selecting either application.
How much wheel clearance should I check after lowering?
Check the actual wheel width, offset, tyre profile and spacers against the inner suspension, brakes and outer arch. Include full steering and suspension movement at the intended height, with the loads you carry. Recheck after fitting and settling; a parked photograph cannot establish usable clearance.
Why does ACU-B2110SD need its rear contents checked?
The application table lists the G87 M2 RWD, but the retained set description uses M2 facelift/Competition and CO wording while the application column specifies NCO. Confirm the precise model scope and supplied rear parts by part number. Neither an F87 label nor a generic photograph resolves that disagreement.
Is a three-way kit automatically the best choice?
Choose a verified application and controls you have a plan to use. Additional damping circuits and reservoirs need space, access and setup support. Include tyres, alignment, servicing and the electronic-damper change in the decision. Price alone cannot establish which package suits the car.
Let’s talk suspension.
Find your M2, then add the build date, driven wheels and original damper equipment. Tell us about wheel and tyre sizes, brake changes, previous suspension work and how you use the car so we can check the exact reference.
