BMW Suspension Parts for BMW 5 Series E34 (1987-1995)

Control arms, and their integrated ball joints, are some of the most crucial components on a BMW suspension. The control arms literally control the wheel and suspension as they go through their range of motions. A faulty or worn control arm or ball joint is a very dangerous and potentially life-threatening problem so make sure they are inspected and replaced at regular intervals. For a street-driven car we advise yearly inspection and a full replacement every 3-4 years. For track-driven cars these should be inspected before every event and replaced every two years.

This control arm is an aftermarket OEM alternative part that comes with a 1-year warranty. They use the same designs as the original BMW parts on your car so they meet OEM standards for fitment and operation. We have compared these parts to the Genuine BMW and OEM brands and found few differences. This package is an unbeatable money-saving bundle to restore your E34's precise handling and steering. We also offer all of the OE or OEM brands if you are more comfortable with those levels of quality and performance or are planning to track or autocross your car (the cast components of the aftermarket kit will not be as good as the OEM parts on the track).

The aftermarket arm has the bushing pre-installed. The OEM and BMW arms include the bushing but it must be pressed into the arm by a qualified technician.

This H&R-Bilstein package replaces the M5's standard shocks and springs with more-capable bits from Bilstein and H&R. Using a stiffer spring will mean less weight transfer and bodyroll in corners and a slightly lower ride height for better aesthetics. This package will bolt in to any E34 M5 with the optional E34 Self-Leveling Delete Kit.

H&R Sport springs lower the M5's ride height by .8" in front and 0.3" in the rear and stiffens the spring rate. Both combine to lower the car's center of gravity and reduce the amount of bodyroll in corners. The springs are progressive rate so their initial stiffness is actually very compliant and it becomes stiffer as the spring is compressed. This is great for street cars that see bumps and potholes where suspension compliance is key. Overall, they are about 20% stiffer than the stock original springs.

We use Bilstein Sport shocks as the dampers and they feature Bilstein's patented and innovative valving system. On the E34, suspension travel is crucial especially with a lowered ride height. This suspension is stiff but delivers uncompromising handling. These fit with the stock strut and shock mounts, making for an easy and clean install. Because BMW used multiple combinations of front strut and strut mount we will need specific information from your car in order to send you the correct parts.
 

Parts list:

• 1 set - H&R Sport Springs
• 1 pair - Bilstein Front Sport struts
• 1 pair - Bilstein Rear Sport Shocks (rear self-leveling must be disabled or removed) We offer a Self Leveling Elimination Kit)

Fitment note: some very late E34 models were equipped with an EDC electronic damping system. This must be disabled to use this suspension.
