BMW E39 5 Series Touring (95-04) BC Racing BR coilover kit 5.5/5.5 kg/mm

The BC Racing BR coilover kit E39 Touring (part number I-42-BR-RA) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the BMW 5 Series E39 Touring with rear-wheel drive, model years 1995 to 2004, not for cars with self-levelling suspension (SLS). The spring rate is 5.5 kg/mm front and 5.5 kg/mm rear.

At BC Racing the E39 Touring has its own BR kit, separate from the kit for the Sedan. Important: this kit is not suitable for a Touring with self-levelling suspension (SLS). Check this before you order.

The BR is the all-round series from BC Racing, for daily use with the occasional track day or autocross. Monotube dampers with a linear piston, 30-click damping adjustment and a ride height that you set independently of the spring preload make the Touring tighter and more stable on the road.

Key benefits

Fitting and delivery

Please note: this kit is not suitable for an E39 Touring with self-levelling suspension (SLS). The kit is vehicle-specific and replaces the original dampers and springs. We recommend having it fitted by an experienced mechanic. On some cars the pillowball top mount at the front requires a small modification to the upper mounting; if in doubt, contact us. After adjusting the ride height, a wheel alignment is required. The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If BC Racing temporarily does not have the kit in stock, you can still order and we will let you know when it arrives.

According to BC Racing UK, the BC Racing BR coilover kit I-42-BR-RA for the BMW E39 Touring is not suitable for cars with self-levelling suspension (SLS).

Why choose this BR coilover kit E39 Touring?

An E39 Touring is a practical car that can drive much more sportily with the right suspension. This BR kit gives it a tighter chassis, a height you choose yourself and damping in 30 steps, while it remains usable for daily driving. If your Touring does not have self-levelling suspension, this is the BR kit that BC Racing UK lists for it.
