BMW 1 Series E87 (2003–2013)

Five-door E87 hatchbacks, 2003 to 2013, are the subject of this page. Brake parts are the larger share: EBC and Hawk pads, with Ferodo, Pagid and PBS, most of them road or fast-road compounds, and EBC discs that come plain, slotted or dimpled. Swap the fluid and choose a pad rated for track heat before anything else, then see a tyre fitter about tyres and alignment. Suspension choices run from Bilstein B4 dampers and Eibach or Bilstein springs at the factory height to H&R Cup kits, Koni STR.T dampers and coilovers by KW, ST and H&R. For the E87, Ultra Racing lists front lower bars and strut bars.
