XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — BMW 5 SERIES E60 M5 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2005-2010

The E60 M5 was sold as a four-door super-saloon with an F1-derived V10 and the EDC electronic damper system bolted to a chassis that, frankly, never needed the complexity. Strip the EDC out, fit a proper passive coilover with the cancellation harness, and the BM42-C chassis suddenly behaves the way the S85 always promised – planted, communicative, and free of the spongy mid-corner float that EDC introduced when its solenoids started ageing.

This Super Sport kit for the 2005-2010 BMW 5 Series E60 M5 is the fast-road-plus-occasional-track answer for owners who want to silence the iDrive damper warning, lower the nose-heavy V10 saloon onto a sorted spring rate, and gain 36 clicks of rebound to tune around the car’s considerable kerb weight.

What this coilover does for your 2005-2010 BMW 5 Series E60 M5

The E60 M5 carries roughly 1,830 kg with most of it ahead of the bulkhead, and the standard EDC dampers struggle to control that mass once the fluid inside them is a decade old. A passive Super Sport coilover replaces both the dampers and the failure-prone EDC logic, returning predictable body control whether you’re loading the nose into a fast B-road sweep or trail-braking into Druids. The 36-way rebound adjustment lets you wind in support for hot laps then back it off for the motorway commute home. Ride height adjustment closes the arch gap the E60 M5 is famous for, sharpening turn-in without dropping the sump into every speed hump. The included cancellation kit deletes the dashboard fault and keeps the rest of the M5’s electronics talking to each other cleanly.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport sits in the middle of the XYZ Racing range, engineered as a true dual-purpose damper rather than a compromised stance setup. Construction is a full-bodied monotube with 36-way rebound adjustment across the click range, giving usable resolution from supple road tune to firm circuit setting without ever feeling crashy at the soft end or wooden at the firm end. Ride height is independently adjustable from the spring perch, so corner balance and arch gap aren’t tied to preload. The damper is built specifically to absorb the patchwork surface of UK roads while still holding shape under the load a 5.0-litre V10 saloon generates through a fast corner. For the E60 M5 application, the package ships with the EDC cancellation harness so the car’s CAN bus stops reporting damper faults the moment the standard struts come out.

Fitment for the BMW 5 Series E60 M5 (2005-2010)

This kit is chassis-specific to the E60 M5 (XYZ code BM42-C) built between 2005 and 2010 with the factory EDC electronic damping system. The supplied cancellation harness is what makes this variant distinct from the standard E60 5 Series fitment – do not confuse the two. Confirm your car was originally fitted with EDC before ordering.
