Bmw 5 SERIES F11 (OE FOR REAR AIR STRUT) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2010-2017 — Coilovers

The F11 Touring left the factory with self-levelling rear air struts and, on a great many cars, Electronic Damping Control – two systems that make a straight coilover swap impossible without the right hardware. This XYZ Racing coilover kit for the 2010-2017 BMW 5 Series F11 is the version built specifically for those cars: it replaces the rear air struts with conventional height-adjustable units and includes a cancellation kit so the EDC module stops looking for dampers that are no longer there.

That matters because the F11 is a long, heavy estate that carries its mass high and rearward when loaded. Trading the soft, self-levelling rear for a properly rated coilover changes the character of the car – tighter body control, a lower centre of gravity, and a ride height you set yourself rather than one the air system chooses for you.

What this coilover range does for your 2010-2017 BMW 5 Series F11

On the road you feel the difference first at the rear axle. The factory air setup prioritises self-levelling comfort; the coilover gives you a consistent spring rate and damping that no longer sags or pumps as the car is loaded. Front-end turn-in sharpens once you drop the nose, and the F11’s tendency to float over crests at motorway speed is reined in. Because ride height is set on the collars, you can sit the estate over its wheels without the back end riding tall under load. The EDC cancellation kit clears the dash warning and keeps the car driving normally, so there is no permanent fault light left behind after the conversion.

About the XYZ Racing coilover range

XYZ Racing builds this F11 kit as a full height-adjustable coilover, with the rear air-strut delete engineered into the hardware rather than worked around. The range spans seven specifications – Super Sport and Top Sport for fast-road and track-biased setups, Racing Spec and Circuit Master for committed circuit work, Drift Spec for the rear-drive sliding crowd, and Tarmac Rally and Pro Rally for surfaced-stage use. Each shares the same core: a coilover body with adjustable spring perches for ride height and damping adjustment to set the car’s response. The difference between them is largely spring rate and damper valving, matched to how hard the car will be driven. For an F11 that lives as a fast estate, the milder specifications keep daily manners intact; for a stripped track or stage build, the firmer kits hold the body flatter under cornering load.

Fitment for the BMW 5 Series F11 (2010-2017)

This kit fits the BMW 5 Series F11 (chassis code BM80-C) across the 2010 to 2017 model years. It is the specific variant for cars fitted with the OE rear air strut and bundles the cancellation kit for Electronic Damping Control. Confirm your car runs the rear air suspension and EDC before ordering, as a standard-strut F11 takes a different kit.
