H&R Sport Springs - 2014–2018 BMW X5 xDrive35d & xDrive35i, Self-Leveling (F15)
H&R's Sport Springs lower the F15 X5 without disturbing the self-leveling rear suspension these cars come with — an important distinction from the non-self-leveling version of this same spring.
H&R’s best-selling lowering spring. It closes the fender gap, lowers the center of gravity, and cuts body roll while keeping the car comfortable enough to drive every day. The progressive spring rate is what keeps this from riding like a track spring — it works with your factory dampers, not against them.
Important Compatibility Information
This part number is specifically for X5 F15 models equipped with self-leveling rear suspension. A separate H&R part covers the non-self-leveling version of the same X5 xDrive35d/35i — confirm which suspension your car has before ordering.
Why Choose H&R Sport Springs
H&R crafts every spring in this line from a special (hf) 54SiCr6 spring steel and shot-peens it, a process H&R rates for more than double the service life of an untreated spring. Every spring is 100% tested before it leaves H&R’s ISO9001-certified production facility in Germany.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this affect my ride quality?
It firms up, but the progressive spring rate is designed to keep the ride comfortable for daily driving — this is H&R’s daily-driver lowering spring, not a track spring.
Do I need new shocks to run this spring?
No. H&R designs it to work with your factory dampers, and BMP does not require a shock upgrade to install it.
Do I need an alignment after installing this?
Yes. We recommend a four-wheel alignment after installation, our standard advice on any spring or sway bar job in this family.
