E9x suspension?

Im sure this has been covered. But im interested to know if a set of coilovers for an E9X is the same as an E82. Reason im asking is bc they make raceland for E9x's but no E82's. I really want the raceland bc out of all the coilovers ive ran or been in a car with they are the best for the price hands down. So im hoping these are interchangeable.

Yes and no. The non M e92 or e93 will fit and are basically the same. If you are doing coilovers though you may want to think of what spring rates you want because it may be different from what you would want in the 3 series. The m3 rear end is different and you would need to convert a few pieces of the suspension to use but it can and has been done. My coilovers are made for the e92 not the e82 and I have had no problems.

Garage List
You would need adaptors to make the rear M suspension fit your lower camber links OR change the lower camber links to M. As CloveF mentioned, spring rates may need to change.
