Bilstein B12 Pro-Kit Suspension Kit (B8 Shocks + Eibach Pro-Kit Springs) for BMW 5 Series E39 Touring Estate/Wagon 1996-2004 | Sports Suspension Upgrade | Lowering 10-30mm | Shocks & Springs Kit | Part 46-180872

BMW E39 5 Series Touring Sports Suspension Package - B12 Pro Kit | Part 46-180872

Give your E39 estate the stance, control and confidence it deserves. This B12 Pro Kit blends Bilstein B8 performance dampers with Eibach Pro-Kit coils to deliver a tasteful ride height drop and a big step up in grip, steering feel and braking stability. Ideal for fast-road use on UK tarmac, it is the smart alternative to coilovers for drivers who want OEM-plus comfort with real handling gains.

Expect a ride height reduction of roughly 10 mm to 30 mm depending on engine and equipment, a tighter chassis, reduced squat and dive, and a planted, stable feel on A-roads and B-roads. Bilstein’s monotube gas-pressure technology offers crisp response and consistent damping, while the progressive-rate spring design from Eibach keeps everyday refinement intact. TUV approved and engineered specifically for the E39 Touring platform.
