XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — BMW 5 SERIES F11 (OE FOR REAR AIR STRUT) 2010-2017

The F11 Touring sits in an awkward spot for anyone wanting to sharpen it up: the factory rear self-levelling air struts are a closed system, and once they start weeping at 80,000 miles the dealer replacement bill is enough to make owners consider scrapping an otherwise sound estate. This XYZ Racing Super Sport kit is the specific variant built to retire that rear air setup for good, swapping it for a conventional coil-over-damper that will outlive the chassis.

What you get on the road is an F11 that finally feels like it owns its own weight. The long-wheelbase Touring carries mass high and rearward, especially with the load bay used in anger, and the Super Sport’s 36-way damping gives you the range to settle the body without the brittle ride that puts most owners off going aftermarket.

What this coilover kit does for your 2010-2017 Bmw 5 SERIES F11 (OE FOR REAR AIR STRUT)

The first thing F11 owners notice after fitting is that the rear axle stops floating over mid-corner crests and motorway expansion joints – the symptom that points to tired air struts in the first place. With ride height adjustment on all four corners, you can drop the Touring’s nose to bring the rake back to where it should sit visually, or keep it level for daily duties and family loads.

The 36-way damping range is the headline benefit on a chassis this heavy. Wind the dampers softer for a long M6 run with the dog in the back, then firm them up four or five clicks for a B-road blast and the body control tightens without the cabin turning crashy. Turn-in becomes more decisive, brake dive is reined in, and the rear no longer pogos when you load it up.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road damper built around the principle that bump compliance and body control are not mutually exclusive. Construction is a full coilover assembly with 36-way adjustable damping, set up to absorb sharp bumps and rough surfaces rather than skip across them.

Ride height is independently adjustable on each corner via the lower mount, so corner-weighting and rake are in the buyer’s hands rather than fixed at a manufacturer preset. The damping range is wide enough to cover a Tuesday-morning commute and a Saturday trackday on the same hardware, which is the brief XYZ Racing wrote the Super Sport to meet.

For an F11 application the kit’s significance is structural as much as performance: it converts the rear from air to coil spring, removing a known failure point and giving the owner a serviceable, rebuildable damper in its place.

Fitment for the Bmw 5 SERIES F11 (OE FOR REAR AIR STRUT) (2010-2017)

This variant is specifically for F11 Touring models fitted from the factory with the OE rear air-strut self-levelling system, covering the 2010-2017 production run on chassis code BM80. If your F11 has conventional rear coil springs, you need the standard F11 kit instead – check under the rear arches before ordering.
