Installation Notes and Tips

Verify electronic suspension, sport suspension, and package exclusions before ordering. This front left strut is not listed for models with electronic adjustable suspension, sport suspension, M-Technik suspension, or the excluded configurations shown in the fitment notes. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount, part number SM5260, and protecting the assembly with a KYB strut boot, part number SB112, to help reduce noise, vibration, and contamination.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and application-specific damping calibration. The result is a suspension strut designed to restore original vehicle behavior on select BMW 5 Series applications.
