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

The F11 Touring is a long, heavy, four-wheel-drive estate that BMW shipped with self-levelling air at the rear and, on many trims, electronic damping at all four corners. That is a lot of factory cleverness to unpick before you can run a proper rally setup, and it is exactly the problem the XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover for the Bmw 5 Series F11 4WD is built to solve. The kit ships with the cancellation hardware to retire the electronic damping circuit and the rear-air conversion to put a coil and a damper back where BMW fitted an airbag.

For sealed-stage tarmac work in an xDrive Touring, the priorities are obvious: keep the body flat under big direction changes, stop the front from washing wide on power, and give the rear axle something it can actually drive against when the road surface breaks up. This 2010-2017 F11 coilover targets all three.

What this coilover does for your 2010-2017 Bmw 5 Series F11 4WD (OE FOR REAR AIR SYURT) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping)

On the road or stage you feel the difference in three places. First, the car finally responds to a steering input without the soft initial roll the air rear used to mask – turn-in arrives when you ask for it, not half a beat later. Second, mid-corner crests and broken tarmac stop unsettling the back of the car; the damping has the travel and the control to swallow a hit and keep the rear tyres planted, which is what the vendor’s "absorb the jolt when across big bumps" claim is really about. Third, the xDrive system has something coherent to work with – the front axle stops scrubbing under power on corner exit, and the rear no longer squats and washes wide when the centre coupling sends torque rearwards. Ride height comes down to a sensible rally-tarmac stance, body movement is contained, and the F11 starts behaving like a single chassis rather than a saloon with an airbag bolted on the back.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally is XYZ Racing’s sealed-surface stage damper, developed out of the company’s own tarmac rally programme. The brief is specific: absorb the impact of uneven pavement, suppress shock through the body, and keep the contact patch loaded when the surface breaks up under braking and on exit kerbs. Construction is built for that hit cycle – sustained high-frequency damper work without fade across a stage. The damping settings come straight out of XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme rather than being adapted from a circuit kit, which matters because stage compression events are sharper and more repetitive than anything a track day throws at the car. As supplied for this F11, the package includes the cancellation kit for the factory electronic damping and the conversion for the rear air system, so the coilover behaves as a conventional adjustable damper rather than fighting the OE ECU.
