Bilstein B12 Pro-Kit 46-180841 Suspension Kit for BMW 5 Series E39 1995-2003 – B8 Sport Shocks/Struts + Eibach Progressive Lowering Springs – Fixed-Height Coilover Alternative – Monotube Fast-Road Handling Upgrade – Fits 520i 523i 525i 528i 530i

Sport Suspension Pack for BMW 5 Series E39 1995 to 2003

Part number: BILSTEIN-46-180841

Give your E39 the chassis it deserves with this performance shock and spring package that blends everyday comfort with sharp, confidence-inspiring control. This setup teams Bilstein’s shortened sports dampers with Eibach’s progressive-rate springs to deliver crisper steering response, flatter cornering and a purposeful ride-height drop. Perfect for fast-road driving, commuting and bringing tired factory suspension back to life without the fuss of adjustable coilovers.

Engineered around BMW 5 Series E39 geometry, the system offers precise body control and superb stability at speed while keeping the ride composed on British roads. Expect improved turn-in, reduced pitch and roll, enhanced traction and a strong OEM plus stance that looks right on road wheels or a more aggressive fitment.

Highlights

• Matched sports dampers and progressive springs for balanced handling and control
• Ride-height reduction typically 10 to 30 mm depending on engine, axle load and options
• Gas pressure monotube technology for consistent damping and quick response
• Shortened piston rod design for ideal travel with lowering springs
• TUV approved quality and safety
• Direct bolt-on fit designed for the BMW E39 platform

Real-world results. We have fitted this kit to E39s ourselves and customer feedback has been outstanding. Owners report tighter body control, better grip through B-road bends and a smoother, more composed ride compared with ageing OE suspension.

Not looking for coilovers

If you are searching for a BMW E39 coilover alternative, this is a fixed-height fast-road setup. You get the drop, the stance and the reliability of a carefully matched shock and spring kit without the complexity of height adjustment.

Who is it for

• Drivers who want a sporty, controlled ride without harshness
• Enthusiasts wanting improved cornering grip, braking stability and traction
• Anyone chasing an OEM plus look with everyday usability
