Öhlins has released Road and Track coilovers for the e46!
Everyone on this interest list, please take the time to write Ohlins and let them know that you really want them to make a coilover kit for the e85/e86. Half the work is already done with the e46 coilover on the market. If everyone writes I feel we definitely have a chance of making this happen. The USA distributor is the one that needs 250 sets of shocks for him to make the company initiate action. But the actual company in Sweden can decide to make it whenever they like. I figure if we get enough people contacting they can see the value, especially with the high visibility our cars get on the street and track. Seriously, take the five minutes and write them an email info@ohlins.se EDIT: Feel free to spread to friends, other forums. Let's get a letter writing campaign going and make this happen!

I sent them and received this answer:
Sorry but we don’t have any Road and Track shocks for your Z4 at the moment, if you can wait a few month then distributor in your country can make shocks for your car from a new system we call Kit System.

That's interesting. Previously they would tell you that the only option was the Race dampers (which they tell you are not meant for street). Looks like they're going to build a platform for individual shocks/springs based more on the design of the R&T.
Thanks for writing! Come on guys, let's make this happen

problem is its not going to be a properly developed for our car setup.... if they were to build a proper bolt on from the factory tried and tested unit awesome.... but a kit form knocked up at the distributor isnt imo something we want or need..... Come on ohlins, your so close anyway you really may as well develop something properly.

The main difference is not going to be the components (the components will be identical). The difference is that if they engineer a proper solution for us, they'll match the valving and springs perfectly to the results of putting a Z4M on a 7 post shaker rig.

Ok guys. So they might put us a kit together, don't have the details yet.
Do we have anyone near Hendersonville, NC that can be the guinea pig for measurement and test fitting?

Cool deal. I'm talking with the US representative now to see what they can put together for us. I'll see what they will require to undertake the different levels of testing, and hopefully we can find a balance to what we would like versus how many people can actually commit to buy.
