Bmw 5 SERIES F11 (OE FOR REAR AIR STRUT) 2010-2017 — Coilovers

The F11 is the Touring bodyshell of BMW’s F10 5 Series, and it carries a complication the saloon never had: factory self-levelling air suspension on the rear axle. This XYZ Racing coilover family is specified for exactly that car – the 2010-2017 BMW 5 Series F11 running the OE rear air strut – so the kit is matched to a chassis that already manages its own rear ride height under load.

That makes front spring and damper choice the decisive variable. A long-overhang estate with a nose weighted by BMW’s straight-six and diesel units wants front control that resists dive and settles the body without fighting the self-levelling rear. The range runs from fast-road to full motorsport intent, so the F11 owner chooses the character of the car rather than accepting one fixed factory setting.

What this coilover does for your 2010-2017 BMW 5 Series F11 (OE for rear air strut)

Drop the front of the F11 onto a threaded coilover and the first thing you feel is a body that stops floating: less nose-dive into a roundabout, a flatter attitude through a long sweeper, and steering that responds the moment you turn in. Height adjustment lets you correct the slightly raised, comfort-biased front stance these cars leave the factory with, closing the arch gap without wrecking geometry. On the damping-adjustable types in the range, you set the front firmness to suit a heavy Touring that still has to ride UK B-roads, then stiffen it for a track day. Because the kit is built around the retained OE rear air strut, the back axle keeps doing its self-levelling job while the front does the work you can actually feel.

About the XYZ Racing coilover range

These are fully threaded coilovers with ride-height adjustment built into the body, not spacer-and-spring lowering kits. The family is split by intent: Super Sport for fast road, Top Sport for the track-day driver who still commutes, and Racing Spec and Circuit Master for cars that live on circuit. Tarmac Rally and Pro Rally cover stage work where travel and durability matter, while Drift Spec leans toward angle and steering lock. Each tier shifts spring rate, damping range and valving toward its job, so the F11 specification is a deliberate match rather than a single global tune stretched across every use case.

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

This listing covers the F11 Touring built from 2010 to 2017, in the specific configuration that retains the OE rear air strut self-levelling suspension. It is held internally under reference BM80. Confirm your car runs the factory rear air setup before ordering, as that is the variant this kit is specified against.
