The MTS Stance E39 Inox is a height-adjustable coilover kit from MTS Technik for the BMW E39 Sedan and Touring, model years 1995 to 2004. Stance is the lowest and firmest setup from MTS Technik, for those who want the wheel tight under the wheel arch.

On the Inox version, the damper bodies are made of stainless steel, so road salt and moisture don’t stand a chance. This kit only replaces the dampers and springs of the front axle; the rear axle stays original.

Fitting and delivery

The MTS Stance E39 Inox replaces the original dampers and springs and fits on the original mounting points.

• The stated lowering applies relative to the standard suspension. If the car has a factory sport suspension, the lowering will be smaller.
• When fitting, check the clearance between tyre or wheel and the strut: at least 5 mm. If it is less, use approved wheel spacers.
• After lowering, have the wheel alignment checked, because camber and toe change as well.

Delivery: 4 to 7 working days while manufacturer stock lasts.

The MTS Stance E39 Inox combines stainless steel damper bodies, Eibach springs of 90 N/mm and up to 85 mm of lowering for the BMW E39 Sedan and Touring.

Why choose the MTS Stance E39 Inox?

With the MTS Stance E39 Inox you choose the lowest possible car with direct, firm handling; the stiffer springs keep the body steady, even with a large lowering. If you also drive in winter or the car is parked outside, the Inox version pays for itself: stainless steel doesn’t rust, so the thread of the height adjustment doesn’t seize up. If you mainly drive in summer, the Gold version is a more affordable alternative. With the included camber plates you set the camber, which with a large lowering means less tyre wear and more grip.

Frequently asked questions

Does this kit also fit an M5?

No. The MTS Stance E39 Inox is made for the BMW E39 Sedan and Touring, but not for the M5. MTS Technik has its own kit for the M5.

What is the difference between Street and Stance?

All versions use the same dampers; the difference lies in the Eibach springs and the lowering range: Street (70 N/mm) and Stance (90 N/mm). Street is the standard. Stance is the firmest and the lowest.

What is the difference between Gold and Inox?

Gold has steel damper bodies with a yellow zinc coating, Inox has stainless steel damper bodies. Inox is more resistant to road salt and moisture and therefore costs more. Otherwise, the kits are identical.

How long does delivery take?

The MTS Stance E39 Inox is delivered within 4 to 7 working days as long as the manufacturer has stock.
