XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — BMW X5 E70 4WD (NON AIR STRUT) 2007-2013

The E70 X5 in non-air-strut trim is the version owners actually want to modify – the coil-sprung sibling that doesn’t pop air bladders at 80,000 miles and doesn’t punish you with a four-figure dealer bill when it does. The trade-off has always been the factory ride: a 2.2-tonne SUV on passive dampers that float over motorway expansion joints and roll noticeably through fast B-road sweepers. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the 2007-2013 BMW X5 E70 4WD addresses both ends of that compromise.

This is the Super Sport spec, which sits in XYZ’s range as the fast-road and weekend-track option. On a chassis this heavy, that positioning matters – you want damping that can carry the mass without becoming brittle on broken UK tarmac.

What this coilover kit does for your 2007-2013 Bmw X5 E70 4WD (Non Air Strut)

Drop the front of an E70 by even 25-30mm and the difference in turn-in is immediate – you’re reducing the visual and dynamic top-heaviness that defines the stock car. The 36-way damping range is where this kit earns its keep on the X5 specifically: a heavy 4WD platform needs more rebound authority to control body movement after a compression, and the adjustment span lets you find a setting that keeps the nose composed without making the rear axle skip over mid-corner bumps. Lower the car, pick up some camber gain through the front struts, and the steering loads up in a way the factory setup never allowed. Daily commuting stays civilised because you can wind the dampers back toward the softer end of the range during the week and firm them up for a track day or a fast Sunday run.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport damper is built specifically to eliminate the harshness most aftermarket coilovers introduce on rough roads – the chassis brief is fast-road first, weekend-track second. Ride height is fully adjustable at each corner, and the 36-way dampening adjustment gives a usable working range rather than a token click count, so the same kit configured for a Saturday airfield session can be re-set for the Monday commute. XYZ position this damper as suitable for both weekend racing and daily use, which on a vehicle as multi-purpose as the E70 is the realistic brief. Spring rates and damper valving are matched at the factory for the chassis, so you’re not buying a generic strut and hoping the rates suit a 2.2-tonne SUV – the kit ships configured for the X5’s mass and weight distribution.

Fitment for the Bmw X5 E70 4WD (Non Air Strut) (2007-2013)

This kit is built for the BMW X5 E70 4WD variant fitted from the factory with conventional coil springs – chassis code BM69-1-1, model years 2007 through 2013. It is not the right kit if your X5 has the optional rear self-levelling air suspension; check the rear ride-height behaviour with the engine off if you’re unsure. The 4WD designation covers the standard xDrive driveline for this generation.
