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

The G61 i5 is a heavy car. Two-and-a-half tonnes of electric saloon riding on an OE rear air strut setup that prioritises hushed motorway cruising over body control – and that’s exactly where the factory suspension runs out of ideas the moment you ask for a B-road. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover keeps the rear air strut compatibility intact while replacing the front and the spring/damper logic of the rear with something that actually reads the road.

For a fast-road i5 driver who wants to feel the chassis underneath all that battery mass, this is the kit that addresses the platform’s specific problem: weight transfer that arrives late, settles slowly, and leaves the front tyres scrubbing into corners. The Super Sport’s 36-way damping range gives you the bandwidth to manage it.

What this coilover does for your 2024-2026 Bmw 5 Series G61 I5 (OE FOR REAR AIR Strot)

Drop the i5 onto its haunches and the visual problem goes first – the factory wheel-gap disappears and the car finally looks like the executive sports saloon BMW marketed. Beneath that, the height adjustment lets you set up for the conditions of the day: lower for a dry trackday morning, lifted a touch for a winter commute with speed bumps. The 36 damping clicks give you genuinely different car behaviour at each end of the range, not a placebo dial. On a chassis this heavy, that matters: you need bump damping firm enough to control the mass loading into a corner, and rebound soft enough that the rear axle doesn’t skip over mid-corner ripples. The Super Sport is engineered around that exact trade-off – comfortable enough to live with, controlled enough to lean on.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road damper, built to take the harshness out of broken UK tarmac without sacrificing body control. Construction is monotube, height-adjustable at the lower mount so corner balancing doesn’t compromise spring preload, with 36 clicks of combined bump-and-rebound adjustment on a single knob. This particular kit retains the OE rear air strut interface – meaning the i5’s load-levelling and EQ Air rear hardware stays in play while the front gets the full coilover treatment and the rear’s spring rate is recalibrated to match. XYZ positions it as suitable for both weekend circuit work and daily duty, which on a car this heavy is the right brief: enough damping authority for a track session at Bedford, soft enough at click 1 that the school run isn’t a chiropractic event.
