Bilstein B12 Pro Kit for BMW E34 Diesel (524td, 525td, 525tds) | Part No. BILSTEIN-46-190895

Give your classic BMW E34 diesel the sharp, confidence-inspiring road manners it deserves with the Bilstein B12 Pro Kit. This expertly matched spring and damper package teams Bilstein B8 performance shock absorbers with Eibach Pro-Kit progressive springs for a purposeful ride height drop and a truly planted feel on British roads. Expect tighter body control, crisp steering response and dependable composure at speed, all while keeping daily comfort intact.

Why it’s the smart upgrade for your E34 diesel

• Chassis-specific tuning for the BMW 5 Series E34 diesel: 524td, 525td and 525tds (approx. 1987–1995)
• Short-stroke Bilstein B8 dampers paired with Eibach progressive-rate coils for fast-road confidence
• Ride height reduction of around 10–30 mm (model dependent) for a lower centre of gravity and cleaner stance
• Monotube gas-pressure technology for consistent damping and fade resistance under hard use
• TÜV approved and engineered for long-term reliability

What you’ll feel on the road

• Flatter cornering with noticeably reduced roll
• Sharper turn-in and more precise front-end bite
• Improved stability under braking and over undulations
• Supple ride quality thanks to progressive springs that absorb rough surfaces without going bouncy

Package contents

• 4x Bilstein B8 high-performance shock absorbers (front and rear)
• 4x Eibach Pro-Kit progressive springs
• Pre-matched damping and spring rates designed to work together on the E34 diesel platform

Lowering and dynamics

An even drop of approximately 10–30 mm (depending on vehicle spec) trims wheel arch gap and enhances the E34’s weight transfer characteristics. The result is a more agile, composed 5 Series that stays planted on B-roads and motorways alike. It’s a brilliant alternative to height-adjustable setups for owners who want “fit and forget” performance with OEM-like refinement.

Real feedback from the road

We run B12 kits on our own builds and our customers consistently report a night-and-day transformation: greater confidence in quick direction changes, less float at speed, and that timeless E34 feel refined with modern damping control. It’s a proper handling upgrade for spirited driving without compromising daily usability.

Fitment and compatibility

• BMW 5 Series E34 diesel: 524td, 525td, 525tds
