BMW E39 5 Series Sports Suspension Set by Bilstein B12 Sportline | Part No 46-180926

Give your BMW 5 Series E39 a serious chassis upgrade with this spring and damper package from Bilstein. This is the go-to road handling solution for owners who want a lower, more purposeful stance with real-world ride quality and confidence on British roads. Expect crisper turn-in, improved body control and a planted, stable feel through corners, plus a neat ride height drop that completes the look.

We rate this kit highly and so do our customers. It replaces tired original components with matched gas-pressurised shock absorbers and sport springs that work in harmony. The result is taut, predictable performance for daily driving and spirited B-road use without the hassle of height adjustment.

Why choose this performance suspension pack

• Made-to-measure spring and damper set tailored to BMW 5 Series E39
• Sharper steering feel and better high-speed stability
• Ride height reduction up to approximately 50 mm depending on model
• Gas pressurised shock absorbers for consistent damping and fade resistance
• Fixed-height setup if you prefer not to run adjustable coilovers
• OE-style fitment for a clean, bolt-on install
• Transforms stance and road holding while remaining daily friendly

Ride height and stance
