OHLINS TYPE HAL COILOVER SUSPENSION COMPLETE KIT DFV FOR BMW M3 M4 F80 F82 OHLINS-00343

 

OHLINS TYPE HAL COILOVER SUSPENSION COMPLETE KIT DFV FOR BMW M3 M4 F80 F82 OHLINS-00343

Here are the advantages of fitting the Ohlins Road al& Track Coilover Kit - DFV (for BMW M3/ M4 F80/ F82) (often listed under part-numbers like “OHLINS-00343” or BMS-MR40S1) on your car.

For your purposes (agility, excitement, cornering capability, etc) this makes a lot of sense. 

✅ Key Features & Advantages

1. DFV (Dual-Flow Valve) technology
   
• This is a core Öhlins technology: their valve design allows independent tuning of compression and rebound, including especially the “intermediate speed” range of shock travel.  
• The result: on sudden changes (bumps, curb hits) the tyres maintain contact better with the road because the fluid can flow properly through the valve, improving traction and control.  
• It also reduces the usual compromise in coil-overs between daily comfort vs. track stiffness. Öhlins say you can have comfort + track performance in one unit.  
2. Better handling, reduced body roll, enhanced grip
   
• With proper suspension geometry and damping, the kit delivers improved handling and cornering. For example, the DFV brings “improved handling and reduced body roll” and “enhanced grip and traction”.  
• For a performance car (like a M3/ M4) that matters a lot when you’re pushing the car in corners, or when you want precise responses.
3. Height & damping adjustability
   
• These kits typically allow ride-height adjustment (so you can lower the car) and damping adjustability (tune for road vs track).  
• This means you can dial the car to your preference: stiffer for track, a bit softer for road, etc. For someone who wants agility and raw performance, this is a big plus.
4. Quality, durability & ‘street-usable track’ design
   
• Öhlins emphasise build quality (materials, corrosion resistance, rebuild-ability) which means long-term use and maintenance capability.  
• The “Road & Track” label means this isn’t a purely hardcore track-only kit that’s unbearable on the street — it is usable daily (or at least in more normal road conditions) while still high performing.  
5. Improved ride comfort for road use (while maintaining performance)
   
• One big benefit: With DFV and high-quality damping you get better ride over undulating or imperfect roads, yet you still get performance when you push the car. For example: set-up.”  
• For someone in Malaysia (roads might vary) this is a good benefit: you don’t sacrifice every single road comfort for performance.

🎯 Why this makes sense for you (agility, excitement, cornering, prudent maintenance cost)

• Agility & cornering capability: The combination of lowered ride height + high-quality damping + adjustability means you’ll get sharper turn-in, less body roll, better tyre contact. That helps for the kind of driving you seem to like (you mentioned excitement, cunning performance, cornering capability).
• Raw performance feel: The Öhlins brand and the DFV tech give you that “race inspired” suspension feel, while still being road-usable. So it aligns with wanting “raw power” (in this case, raw chassis performance) without going to a point where the car is just brutal for daily use.
• Prudent maintenance cost: Because the units are high quality, rebuildable, and designed for both road & track use, they should in theory give better longevity than cheaper coil-overs. This means over the long term, you might reduce issues or replacements compared to a budget setup.
• Flexibility for road & track: If you use the car for spirited road drives and maybe track days, this gives you the flexibility (via adjustability) to adapt the car.
• Compatibility as performance part,  this kind of top-tier suspension upgrade fits well into a build with strong cornering and chassis upgrades.

⚠ Things to keep in mind / potential drawbacks

• Cost: Premium brand = premium price.
• Setup is important: To truly capitalise on the kit you will need correct installation, alignment, possibly camber/caster adjustment, and maybe other supporting mods (bushings, tyres, etc).
• Ride height trade-offs: Lowering too much can impact ride quality or cause suspension geometry issues; you’ll need to determine how low vs how daily-usable you want it.
• Maintenance: “Rebuildable” is great, but you’ll want to keep an eye on service intervals, bushings, mounting hardware.
• Vehicle-specific fitment and variants: Ensure the kit is the correct one (for F80/F82, maybe EDC etc) and fits your car setup.

🎯 My recommendation

Given that you are seeking a replacement for your previous setup and you emphasise agility, excitement and cornering capability while mindful of maintenance, this Öhlins kit is very well suited. If I were advising you, I’d say:

• Go ahead with this kit if you can invest in quality suspension and you’re committed to using the car for more than just commuting (i.e., spirited drives / track use).
• Make sure you pair it with good tyres, proper service, and support geometry alignment (especially since BMW M-models benefit greatly from correct camber/caster on track).
• Consider how you’ll set it up: perhaps a moderate drop rather than ultra low – so you retain daily usability in your country (roads are not always pristine).
• Keep in mind the long-term maintenance: you might want to budget for a rebuild or fresh fluids every couple of years if you race it.
