XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — BMW 5 SERIES E60 M5 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2005-2010

The E60 M5 is one of the most complicated chassis BMW M ever signed off on – 1,855kg of saloon, a 5.0-litre V10 spinning to 8,250rpm, and a factory electronic damping system (EDC) that ages badly and gets expensive fast when it fails. This Street Advanced kit is the answer to that specific problem: a full coilover replacement for the E60 M5 that includes the cancellation harness, so the SMG-equipped V10 saloon stops throwing EDC faults the moment the OEM struts come out.

For owners running a 2005-2010 M5 as a fast road car with the occasional track day, the appeal is straightforward. You delete the failure-prone electronic damping, you take back full mechanical control of how the car rides, and you do it without an iDrive warning light staring at you on the dashboard.

What this coilover does for your 2005-2010 Bmw 5 SERIES E60 M5 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping)

Replace the original EDC dampers with the Street Advanced kit and the M5 starts behaving the way the V10 always promised it could. The 720-way damping range lets you firm up the front to settle the nose into long sweepers – where a stock M5 tends to wallow under load thanks to its weight over the front axle – while keeping the rear compliant enough that mid-corner bumps don’t push the back end sideways. Ride height is fully adjustable, which matters on a car this heavy: drop it too far and you’ll bind the geometry, but a measured 25-35mm reduction tightens the look and lowers the centre of gravity without ruining daily usability. The included cancellation kit clears the EDC fault permanently, so there’s no recurring dashboard nag and no chasing intermittent codes when the weather turns.

About the Street Advanced coilover

Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s most popular damper platform and the one developed over years of testing by the XYZ professional team across worldwide race programmes before being released for road use. The set ships with 720 damping adjustment positions on a single combined knob, which is enough resolution to find a usable everyday setting and a separate weekend-stiff setting without ever feeling like you’ve run out of range. Construction is built for normal road use and track day duty in the same kit – not a stripped race-only damper that punishes you on the motorway. For the E60 M5 specifically, that breadth matters: the car spends most of its life on B-roads and motorways, and a coilover that can’t soak up a poorly surfaced UK A-road isn’t a coilover you’ll keep on the car for long.

Fitment for the Bmw 5 SERIES E60 M5 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) (2005-2010)

This kit is built for the E60 M5 saloon, chassis code BM42-C, covering the 2005-2010 production run with the S85 V10 powertrain. The cancellation kit is included specifically to disable the factory Electronic Damper Control (EDC) system – fit this version if your car originally left Garching with adaptive dampers and you want a clean dashboard after the swap.
