DESCRIPTION
This Bilstein rear left air spring is a direct replacement for the factory pneumatic suspension unit on BMW X5 E53 models, including both standard and Sport suspension variants. Whether you’re driving a 3.0i, 4.8is, or 3.0d, this is the exact air spring we recommend for restoring ride quality, rear-end height control, and day-to-day comfort.
Bilstein is one of the most trusted names in German suspension, and their air springs are manufactured to OE specifications for performance, durability, and reliability. This unit replaces the original rear left air spring without modification and works seamlessly with the vehicle’s existing air suspension system — including self-levelling and height control functions.
A worn or leaking air spring can cause uneven ride height, a harsh or floaty ride, or even suspension failure warnings on the dash. Replacing it with a high-quality unit like this one from Bilstein ensures proper support, stability, and peace of mind.

-
BMW X5 E53 (2001–2006): 3.0i, 3.0d, 4.4i, 4.6is, 4.8is

HELPFUL TIPS
We always recommend replacing air springs in pairs (left and right) to maintain even damping and ride height. If you’re unsure whether this fits your vehicle, feel free to reach out with your VIN — we’re happy to help confirm.PART NUMBERS
