XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — BMW 5 SERIES F11 (OE FOR REAR AIR STRUT) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2010-2017

The F11 Touring is a 1.8-tonne executive estate that BMW never intended for stage work, which is exactly why the cars finding their way onto sealed tarmac events need a suspension solution built from the ground up rather than retuned from a fast-road kit. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover for the BMW 5 Series F11 with the rear air-strut delete is that solution – a sealed-stage damper engineered to soak up broken Welsh and Scottish tarmac without losing the body control a long-wheelbase touring chassis desperately needs when the road turns rough.

This kit includes the cancellation harness for the F11’s electronic damping system, which means no fault codes, no limp-mode dramas, and a clean conversion from the factory EDC and self-levelling rear airbags to a fully coilover-sprung rear axle. For the BM80-C chassis between 2010 and 2017, that’s the only honest way to do it.

What this coilover does for your 2010-2017 Bmw 5 Series F11 (OE FOR REAR AIR Strut) (cancellation Kit For Electronic Damping)

The F11’s standard rear air suspension was designed for load levelling, not for keeping a heavy estate flat over a Tarmac stage’s compressions and crests. Swapping to coil-spring damping with the supplied cancellation kit transforms how the back of the car behaves under load: weight transfer becomes predictable, the rear axle stops bobbing through long compressions, and the chassis finally lets you feel what the tyres are doing. Up front, the same tuning philosophy gives you the compliance to ride out mid-corner surface changes without unsettling the line. The cancellation harness keeps the dashboard clean and the ABS and stability systems calibrated to a known suspension geometry, which matters when you’re committing to a braking zone over a crest.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally series is XYZ Racing’s sealed-stage tarmac specification, built around damping curves developed on the company’s own rally programmes. The valving is set up to absorb large single-hit impacts – drain covers, broken kerbing, bridge expansion joints – while keeping the body controlled through the mid-stroke where most of the actual cornering work happens. Construction targets repeated hard hits without losing damping consistency as oil temperatures climb across a stage. Spring rates and damper settings come from XYZ Racing’s own Tarmac Rally race experience, which means the kit arrives with a baseline that works rather than a blank sheet you have to develop from scratch. The result is a damper that suppresses shock-body movement on impact, increases tyre traction across uneven surfaces, and gives the driver real stability when the road stops co-operating.

Fitment for the Bmw 5 Series F11 (OE FOR REAR AIR Strut) (cancellation Kit For Electronic Damping) (2010-2017)

This kit is specific to the F11 Touring (chassis BM80-C) built between 2010 and 2017 with the OE rear air-strut setup. The supplied cancellation kit handles the electronic damping conversion so the factory EDC module reads a valid signal once the coilovers are fitted. Confirm your car has the rear air-strut variant before ordering – the standard-spring F11 takes a different part number.
