About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to dial in the handling and stance of your 2017-2022 BMW 5 Series (530i, 530e, or 540i), the Bilstein B16 PSS10 suspension system is a serious upgrade. This kit replaces your factory struts and springs with a matched set of monotube dampers and performance springs, giving you the ability to fine-tune your car's ride and cornering characteristics. Bilstein has a long history of performance suspension, and this kit brings that expertise to your daily driver.

What sets the B16 apart is its 10-stage damping adjustment. Each click changes both the rebound and compression settings simultaneously, allowing you to find the sweet spot for everything from spirited canyon carving to comfortable highway cruising. The zinc-coated, threaded body design lets you lower your vehicle by approximately 30mm to 50mm, which not only improves the look but also helps reduce body roll by lowering the center of gravity. These dampers have been tested on demanding tracks like the Nürburgring, so you know they're built to perform under pressure.

This is a complete front and rear kit, designed as a direct fit for your BMW 5 Series. It includes everything needed to install the adjustable dampers and matched springs, allowing you to achieve a more connected feel to the road and a sportier stance. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details on adjusting ride height and damping settings.
