XYZ Racing Racing Spec Coilovers — BMW 5 SERIES G61 i5 (OE FOR REAR AIR STROT) 2024-2026

The G61 i5 is a 2.1-tonne electric estate riding on air at the rear from the factory – a platform never intended to see a circuit kerb. The Racing Spec coilover for the 5 Series G61 i5 (OE for rear air strut) tears up that assumption: it bins the standard air-strut compromise at the rear, swaps in a properly engineered coilover, and gives the car a competition-grade damper setup at all four corners.

This is not a fast-road kit reskinned for marketing. The Racing Spec sits at the top of the XYZ Racing ladder and is built for serious track and time-attack use on a chassis that – with the right rubber and aero – has more potential than most owners realise.

What this coilover does for your 2024-2026 Bmw 5 Series G61 i5 (OE FOR REAR AIR STROT)

Replacing the G61’s standard air-sprung rear with a proper coilover is the single biggest dynamic change you can make to this car. Air struts are tuned for cabin isolation; they do not control a heavy battery pack under sustained high-g loading. The Racing Spec gives the rear axle real damper authority, holding the tail flat through long, loaded corners instead of letting it heave and pitch on every direction change. Up front, the damper rates are matched to the i5’s nose mass so trail-braking inputs translate into rotation instead of understeer wash. Spring rates, ride height and damping are all separately adjustable, so the car can be set up firm enough to take repeated kerb strikes without skipping the rear into oversteer mid-corner.

About the Racing Spec coilover

The Racing Spec damper is built specifically for circuit competition and developed using data gathered from direct participation in series including the WTCC. Settings are not extrapolated from road testing – they come back from race weekends and feed into the production part. For owners running aggressive packages – bigger brakes, semi-slicks, aero, weight reduction – XYZ Racing will build custom-valved shock absorbers to your specification: detail the modifications, name the circuit you intend to run, and the damper internals are tuned around that brief. It is the same workflow XYZ uses for factory-supported racing vehicles and A-class machinery, scaled down for a privateer build. For the G61 i5 specifically, the rear unit is engineered as a direct replacement for the OE air strut, eliminating the air system from the equation entirely.

Fitment for the Bmw 5 Series G61 I5 (OE FOR REAR AIR Strot) (2024-2026)

Engineered for the G61 i5 estate chassis (BM132) covering the 2024-2026 model years, in the OE-air-strut rear configuration. The rear unit is the air-replacement variant – confirm your car carries air suspension at the rear axle before ordering, as the standard-spring G61 takes a different part.
