XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — BMW 5 SERIES F11 4WD (OE FOR REAR AIR SYURT) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2010-2017

The F11 Touring with xDrive and rear air suspension is one of the more awkward 5 Series to modify properly. The factory air struts soften progressively under load, the electronic damping module fights any aftermarket setup it doesn’t recognise, and the long rear overhang carrying the load-levelling system means most off-the-shelf coilovers either won’t fit or trigger a dashboard full of warnings. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the F11 4WD is engineered specifically around those two problems.

This is the chassis-code BM117-C kit, supplied with the electronic damping cancellation module so the car’s iDrive doesn’t spend every journey complaining about a suspension fault. It replaces the rear air struts with conventional coil-over-damper units while keeping the F11’s xDrive geometry and ride-height range usable for fast road and weekend track work.

What this coilover does for your 2010-2017 Bmw 5 Series F11 4WD

Swapping the F11’s rear air bags for a proper coilover removes the lazy, sea-sick body movement that plagues an ageing Touring on its original system. You get a consistent rear ride height that doesn’t sink overnight, and a damper that actually controls the chassis when you load up a B-road or a track-day session. The 36-way damping adjustment lets you run a softer setting for the commute and stiffen things up for a Sunday morning on the Cotswolds or a Castle Combe sighting lap. Lowering brings the centre of gravity down without wrecking the geometry, and the cancellation kit means no fault codes, no limp-home mode, no constant amber warnings on the dash. For a 1.9-tonne all-wheel-drive estate, the difference in turn-in and mid-corner composure is the headline change.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport sits in XYZ Racing’s fast-road and light-track bracket. It targets the discomfort that comes from running a stiff race-spec setup on real UK roads – the head-toss over expansion joints, the crashing over drain covers – while still giving the chassis enough control for weekend circuit use. Ride height is adjustable across the working range of the F11’s wheelarches, and the 36-way damping is set via a single knob per corner that walks cleanly between road-comfort and track-firm. The vendor describes it as suitable for both weekend race and daily use, and that’s the brief: one set of coilovers that doesn’t ask you to choose between the school run and a track booking. For the F11 4WD application the kit includes the dedicated cancellation harness that signals the electronic damping module to stand down, so no recoding or coding-out at a specialist is required.
