BMW 5 Series (E60, E61) with coilover suspension

The BMW 5 Series of the E60/E61 series is a true classic among sporty and elegant business vehicles. Produced from 2003 to 2010, it impresses with powerful engines, modern assistance systems (for the time) and mature driving behaviour. Whether as a saloon (E60) or estate (E61): The combination of dynamics and comfort made it the ideal companion for frequent drivers with high standards. If you want to get more sporty handling out of the 5 Series, there is no getting around a coilover suspension. A height-adjustable sports suspension not only allows the vehicle height to be customised, but also noticeably improves the handling. Depending on the model and setup, lowering of up to 65 mm is possible - ideal for increasing driving dynamics and achieving a sporty look at the same time. Compared to classic sports suspensions, a coilover suspension offers the decisive advantage of infinitely variable height adjustment. While sports suspensions specify a fixed lowering, a coilover suspension allows you maximum flexibility - particularly practical when changing wheel/tyre combinations. Particularly with a vehicle such as the E60/E61, which looks a little high-legged in its standard state, a coilover suspension provides the perfect finishing touch. Thanks to numerous variants - from beginner-friendly to high-performance - the right setup can be found for every requirement. Whether you want to be sportier on the road or are looking for maximum performance for country roads or motorways: a coilover suspension gets the maximum out of your 5 Series.

bMW 5 Series Sedan (E60) with KW V3 coilover suspension

The KW V3 coilover suspension takes the BMW 5 Series Sedan (E60) to a completely new performance level. With a stepless lowering of 25 to 55 mm at the front and rear axle, the vehicle height can be adjusted exactly to your liking - whether for a sportier look in everyday life or a more dynamic driving behaviour on winding country roads. The stainless steel suspension not only offers the highest corrosion resistance, but also long-lasting quality at premium level. The special highlight of the KW V3: the independently adjustable rebound and compression damping. This allows the suspension to be perfectly tuned to individual requirements - whether sporty and firm or balanced for everyday use. The suspension is particularly effective in the BMW E60 with its rear-wheel drive and balanced weight distribution. The driving dynamics are noticeably improved, the steering behaviour is more precise and the lateral inclination in bends is significantly reduced. Compared to a simple sports suspension or height-adjustable sports springs, the height-adjustable sports suspension from KW offers maximum flexibility and technology - ideal for E60 drivers who don't want to compromise. The KW V3 is not only a technical upgrade, but also a clear statement in terms of driving pleasure.

Advantages of the KW V3 coilover suspension for the BMW 5 Series E60

  • Stepless lowering from 25-55 mm
  • Independently adjustable rebound & compression damping
  • Stainless steel for maximum durability
  • More precise steering behaviour & more stability
  • Noticeable increase in performance

BMW 5 Series Touring (E61) with KW V1 coilover suspension

The BMW 5 Series Touring (E61) combines driving dynamics and spaciousness in typical BMW style. Especially as a 530i or 535d, it is a real all-rounder - comfortable on long journeys, sporty on country roads and always stylish. If you want to give your Touring a sportier driving behaviour and an improved look, the KW V1 coilover suspension is the right choice. Made from high-quality stainless steel, the suspension allows for stepless lowering from 25 to 45 mm on both axles. This allows the vehicle height to be optimally adapted to personal preferences. Despite fixed damper tuning, the suspension offers a perfectly harmonised balance of sporty driving style and suitability for everyday use - ideal for frequent drivers and BMW enthusiasts. The lowered centre of gravity noticeably improves road holding, minimises rolling behaviour and significantly enhances the car's dynamic appearance. Compared to height-adjustable sports springs or simple sports suspensions, the KW V1 height-adjustable sports suspension offers significantly more precise handling and a higher-quality finish. Especially with the E61 Touring, where weight and load play a major role, the KW V1 ensures a balanced and full driving experience.

Advantages of the KW V1 coilover suspension for the BMW 5 Series Touring (E61)

  • Lowering of 25-45 mm on both axles
  • High-quality stainless steel processing
  • Sporty tuned dampers
  • Improved handling and more driving stability

BMW 5 Series Touring (E61) with DTSLine SX coilover suspension

The DTSLine SX coilover suspension is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to lower their BMW 5 Series Touring (E61) and at the same time upgrade it in a price-conscious manner. The Touring, known for its combination of space and driving pleasure, benefits enormously from lowering: With 25 to 45 mm at the front and rear axle, the E61 gets a sportier look and significantly more dynamic handling. The suspension is made of galvanised steel and offers solid quality despite its low price. Especially as an entry-level product, the DTSLine SX impresses with a balanced damper setup that is just as suitable for everyday use as it is for sportier driving on the road. Even though the damper firmness is not adjustable, the set-up has been selected to achieve a noticeable performance gain compared to the standard suspension - without any unnecessary loss of comfort. Compared to pure lowering springs, the DTSLine height-adjustable sports suspension offers the clear advantage of customising the vehicle height. Particularly in a variably loaded estate car such as the E61, the uniform lowering of the front and rear axles can ensure a harmonious and functional appearance.

Advantages of the DTSLine SX coilover suspension for the BMW 5 Series Touring (E61)

  • Favourable entry-level suspension with lowering
  • Vehicle height individually adjustable from 25-45 mm
  • Robust galvanised steel housing
  • Improved road holding & sportier look
  • Ideal for the price-conscious with sporty aspirations

These coilovers also fit the BMW 5 Series E60, E61
