Bilstein B3 Pneumatic Rear Spring Unit for BMW 5 Series F11 Touring 2010 to 2017 - Part 40-305196

Restore the rear ride height and comfort of your BMW 5 Series estate with the Bilstein B3 pneumatic spring, part number 40-305196 (also listed as BILSTEIN-40-305196). This is a direct-fit rear pneumatic bellow designed for the F11 Touring platform, delivering factory-level refinement, stable handling and dependable load-levelling performance. Ideal for curing a drooping back end, uneven stance or air ride leaks on self-levelling models.

Built by Bilstein with OE-matched materials and precision, this rear air ride bellow maintains consistent counter-pressure for confident control under passengers, luggage or towing loads. It is engineered for cars where the air spring sits separate from the damper, exactly like the F11 rear layout. We have installed these on customer cars and feedback has been excellent - quiet operation, smooth composure and that planted BMW feel back where it should be.
