Bilstein 46-195111 Suspension Kit - Front and Rear

Bilstein B12 (Pro-Kit) Suspension Kit

The Bilstein B12 (Pro-Kit) suspension kit combines Bilstein Performance dampers with Eibach Pro-Kit springs for a fixed-height lowering setup. This package is tuned for specific applications and delivers a moderate drop of 24-40 mm, depending on the vehicle.

Compatible with BMW 535i and BMW 535d applications without electronic suspension, this kit is built for drivers who want a lower stance with matched damping and spring rates. Part number 46-195111 is part of the Bilstein B12 (Pro-Kit) line, which focuses on application-specific suspension balance and clean fitment.

• Application-tuned for fixed-height lowering

Detailed Description

Bilstein’s B12 (Pro-Kit) series is engineered as a matched suspension package rather than a mix-and-match upgrade. The dampers and springs are selected for the specific chassis to maintain predictable ride control while lowering the vehicle for a more aggressive stance and improved suspension geometry. On BMW 535i and BMW 535d models, this setup is intended for vehicles without electronic suspension and provides a direct path to a lowered, performance-oriented street setup. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Kit Helps Address

• Excessive factory ride height on BMW 535i and BMW 535d models
• Unmatched spring and damper behavior after suspension wear
• Loose body control during cornering and braking
• Uneven stance from aging OE suspension components
• Need for a fixed lowering solution without electronic suspension

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2011-2016 BMW 535i, front and rear, without electronic suspension. Fits 2014-2016 BMW 535d, front and rear, without electronic suspension. Verify chassis equipment before ordering, since this kit is specified for vehicles without electronic suspension. Professional installation and a post-installation alignment are recommended after suspension replacement.

Quality Assurance
