BILSTEIN-46-180896 Sport Suspension Pack for BMW E39 5 Series Touring

Give your long-roof E39 the stance and control it deserves. The BILSTEIN-46-180896 kit blends B8 performance dampers with Eibach Pro-Kit progressive coils to deliver sharper turn-in, flatter cornering and a purposeful ride height drop, all while keeping day-to-day comfort on British roads. It is a direct-fit damper and spring set for the BMW 5 Series E39 estate, engineered for precision and built to last.

We run this package on our own cars and have fitted it for countless customers. Feedback is consistent: more confidence on B-roads, calmer high-speed stability and a clean, even stance without the harshness of cheap alternatives. If you want a serious handling upgrade for your E39 Touring without compromise, this is the kit.
