Fortune Auto 500 Series Coilovers For BMW 3 Series RWD (E46) 1999 – 2006

The Fortune Auto 500 Series coilovers for the BMW 3 Series RWD E46 are about as top-of-the-line as you’re going to get from an “entry level” coilover kit.

These coilovers boast some of the most impressive features from any 1-way adjustable coilover kit on the market today.

For starters, every single damper is dyno tested and only used if it is within a 5% tolerance.

Once the dampers have passed testing and been paired, each kit is hand assembled in the USA at Fortune Auto’s headquarters in Virginia.

There’s practically no limit to the customizations you can do, and each Fortune Auto coilover kit is completely rebuildable and also able to be upgraded to a higher spec later down the line, including 2-way and 3-way adjustment. Something very few coilover brands offer.

To top it all off, they offer a 5 year manufacturer’s warranty on the 500 series.

The 500 Series coilovers are designed for street use with occasional track use in mind. The dampers feature a highly advanced High Flow Digressive™ Piston to provide the perfect balance between street comfort and handling performance.

The digressive piston technology allows for stiff low-speed compression/rebound force. This gives more control of driver inputs such as roll, dive, and squat. However, at fast stroke speeds (i.e. high speed bumps) the suspension becomes supple in response to bumps and irregularities in the road for maximum control.

These coilovers are perfect for road cars and daily drivers where a comfortable, smooth ride is important while still wanting to maintain excellent handling performance on the track.
