Nitron elec-TRON R3 Coilover Kit – BMW F87 M2 / M2 Competition
Nitron elec-TRON R3 for BMW F87 M2 / M2 Competition combines real-time electronic damping control with the R3's independent manual adjustment. Each damper uses a proportional solenoid valve, while the R3 provides 24 rebound positions, 26 low-speed compression settings and 16 high-speed compression settings.
The elec-TRON valve operates across a 300–1800 mA range with a 6–8 millisecond response time, giving the system both rapid electronic response and detailed manual tuning range.

Application notes
F87 M2 and M2 Competition require Nitron's standalone electronic control solution / DCU. The M2 CS has factory electronic damping and can use OEM EDC integration.
Ordering and specification
Specification: before the kit is built we will normally confirm how the car is used, tyre choice, ride height and any relevant supporting modifications, then finalise the spring and damper specification with Nitron.
Why Swift Performance?
Swift Performance works directly with Nitron as a BMW development partner. Nitron's standalone F87 elec-TRON control system was developed and tested using our own F87 M2, giving us first-hand experience of the dampers, controller, installation and commissioning on this platform.
We can confirm the correct control hardware and final specification before the system is built, supply it for delivery, or install and commission it in-house with ride-height setup, four-wheel alignment and an appropriate baseline setup.
Frequently asked questions
How does elec-TRON control damping?
A proportional solenoid valve on each damper controls damping electronically at each wheel.
What does the system respond to?
The system can respond to inputs including G-force, vehicle speed, road surface and driver inputs.
Can Swift Performance fit and commission the system?
Yes. We can install the suspension and electronic control hardware, then complete the ride-height and alignment setup.
