Öhlins Road & Track Coilover System (DFV) – BMW M3 (E9X) 2008–2013

The Öhlins Road & Track suspension is built for drivers who want real performance on track without sacrificing comfort on the street. Using Öhlins’ Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology, this system delivers sharp chassis response, improved bump control, and noticeably higher mechanical grip—while still riding properly for daily use.

DFV is designed to react quickly to surface changes, helping the car stay composed over bumps and curbing instead of skipping off-line. Adjustment is simple: the single “gold” adjuster on each damper changes compression and rebound behavior together, allowing you to move from a comfortable street setup to a more track-focused setting in seconds.
