XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — BMW X5 G05 4WD (NON AIR STRUT) 2018-2026

The G05 X5 in steel-spring trim is a different problem to solve than its air-sprung sibling. You have a 2.2-tonne SUV with proper xDrive grip and a 3.0-litre straight-six (or V8) that wants to be driven, but a factory damper tune that prioritises wafting over body control. Lean into a fast B-road and the nose tucks late, the rear takes a beat to settle, and on track the standard setup runs out of composure long before the tyres do.

The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover is built for that exact owner – the G05 driver who skipped the air-strut option, kept the steel springs for serviceability, and now wants the chassis to match what the drivetrain is already capable of. It is a fast-road-and-weekend-track spec, not a stripped-out circuit weapon, which is the right brief for a heavy 4WD platform that still needs to do the school run on Monday.

What this coilover does for your 2018-2026 Bmw X5 G05 4WD (NON AIR Strut)

Drop the nose, firm up the body, and the G05 stops feeling like a tall estate and starts feeling like the performance SUV BMW marketed it as. The 36-way damping range is the headline – wind it soft for motorway miles and the X5 still rides civilly over expansion joints, then turn the knobs clockwise on a Sunday morning and the platform sits flat through fast direction changes instead of leaning on the outside front. Adjustable ride height lets you correct the SUV-typical wheel-arch gap without resorting to lowering springs that wreck the damping curve. Turn-in sharpens, mid-corner pitch reduces, and trail-braking into a roundabout stops loading the front outer tyre quite so brutally. For a chassis this heavy, that translates directly into longer tyre life and more confident overtakes.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport sits in XYZ Racing’s range as the fast-road specialist with track capability – engineered specifically to eliminate the discomfort that bumps and broken surfaces normally transmit through a lowered car. Construction gives you full ride-height adjustment at each corner plus 36 clicks of bump-and-rebound damping on a single knob, so one tool changes the whole car’s character without dropping pressures or swapping springs. The damping range is wide enough that the same set covers weekend race work and the Monday commute – XYZ’s stated brief for the series. Internals are built around a high-performance damper body designed to cope with sustained heat from repeat hard cornering, which matters on a 2,200kg SUV that asks a lot of every shock cycle. There is no electronic damper module to fail, no air bladder to perish – it is a mechanical coilover you can service and re-valve down the line.

Fitment for the Bmw X5 G05 (2018-2026)

This kit is built specifically for the G05 generation X5 with the steel-spring (NON AIR STRUT) factory suspension, chassis code BM111, covering the 2018 to 2026 model years. It is the correct option for xDrive 4WD cars that did not leave the factory with the optional air suspension package – if your X5 has air struts at any corner, this is not the kit for that car.
