XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — BMW 5 SERIES G61 i5 (OE FOR REAR AIR STROT) 2024-2026

The G61 i5 arrives on UK roads carrying the weight problem every electric executive saloon shares: a battery floor that pushes kerb weight well past two tonnes and concentrates mass low and central. BMW’s factory answer was air at the rear and conventional struts up front, which rides beautifully but leaves the chassis floating over fast undulations and reluctant to settle mid-corner. The XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover for the Bmw 5 Series G61 i5 (OE for rear air strut) is the direct hardware fix.

This kit is built specifically for cars that left the factory with rear air suspension, so the rear unit is engineered to integrate with the i5’s stock air strut rather than replace the whole assembly. Front struts are full coilover. The Street Advanced sits squarely in XYZ’s road-and-occasional-track bracket – sharper than the Top Sport’s track focus, but with adjustment range a Bilstein B14 cannot touch.

What this coilover does for your 2024-2026 Bmw 5 Series G61 I5

Drop the front 25 to 30mm and the i5’s nose stops feeling like it is searching for the apex on turn-in – body roll initiates later and dies faster, which the long wheelbase rewards. The 720-way damping adjuster gives you a usable spread between motorway compliance and a stiffer Sunday setting, so the car still absorbs expansion joints on the M40 but holds its line through a fast B-road sweeper. Brake dive under the i5’s regen-plus-friction blending becomes more predictable, which matters on a car this heavy. Rear ride height adjustment lets you correct the slight rake the air strut retains at standard pressure, settling the stance without confusing the levelling system.

About the Street Advanced coilover

The Street Advanced is XYZ’s longest-running road-biased platform – developed and refined over years by the XYZ engineering team and validated through repeat use in international race programmes before being signed off for series production. The headline figure is 720 damping adjustment positions through a single dial per damper, which is the spread that lets one kit cover daily commute, fast road and the occasional track day without compromise on any of them. Construction is monotube with separated rebound and compression behaviour, height-adjustable spring perches, and pillowball top mounts where the application allows. XYZ position it as the bridge between true sport spec and OEM-replacement comfort, and on a heavy i5 chassis that bridge is exactly where most owners want to live.

Fitment for the Bmw 5 Series (2024-2026)

Engineered for the G61 i5 estate (chassis code BM132) built with factory rear air suspension – the kit retains the OE rear air strut and replaces the front strut assembly with a full coilover. Confirmed for model years 2024 through 2026.
